Calculation of earned leave in case of the employee serving in a vacation department                               

                            In our previous topic of Earned leave calculation, we had learned how earned leaves are calculated and had done a practical example also. That method of earned leave calculation is for employees other than the employees of the vacation department like teachers.

                    Earned leave calculation in case of teachers means vocational department employee is totally different from other department employees. In this topic, we will learn, how earned leaves are calculated in the case of vocational department employees like teachers, Head masters, and Principals, etc.

Civil Service Rule for taking earned leave

            As per rule 8.117 of Punjab Civil Service rules volume 1 part 1, A Government employee serving in a vacation department shall be entitled to earned leave of eight days for every completed year spent on duty.

            Whereas in the case of other employees earned leave is admissible as per rule 8.116 and is calculated by period spent on duty. This means there is no restriction of the completed year.

           

When an employee is prevented from availing himself of the vacation

            When any the employee is prevented from availing himself of the vacation then earned leave shall be admissible for that period.

             Let’s see how earned leave become admissible to an employee who is prevented from availing himself of the vacation:-

In the case of Full vacation                                            

                        As per the first proviso under rule 8.117, if in any year, an employee is prevented from availing himself of the full vacation, earned leave shall be admissible to him in respect of that year in accordance with the provisions of Rule 8.116. For better understanding see the practical example.

In the case of Part of a vacation

                        According to the second proviso under rule 8.117, if in any year, an employee is prevented from availing himself of a part of vacation, the earned leave proportionately admissible to him under sub-rule (b), together with earned leave of eight days admissible under this sub-rule, shall not exceed the maximum earned leave admissible under rule 8.116.
