NEW DELHI: No woman Government employee will be refused child care leave for at least five days unless there are grave and extraordinarily compelling circumstances that warrant refusal, according to a proposal by the Centre.
The Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) has decided to modify necessary service rules in this regard and sought all ministries comments.
“In cases where a female Government servant applies for child care leave for at least five working days, she should normally not be refused leave citing exigencies of work unless there are grave and extraordinarily compelling circumstances that warrant refusal,” the proposed change in rules by the DoPT reads.
