Organs Donated Employees: If a government employee donates his organ, now he will be given 42 days leave under the new rule, which has been implemented from April 25.
Government Employees: In the official memorandum issued by the Department of Personnel and Training (DOPT), it has been said that organ donation is a major surgery, which takes time to recover. This includes everything from hospitalization to rest and treatment.
For this reason a long leave (Medical Leave) is required. In such a situation, a special step has been taken to help a person and to promote organ donation among the Central Government employees.
DoPT has said that in such cases government employees will be given 42 days leave. These special holidays have been offered to central employees. However, at present, the rule states that a maximum of 30 days can be sanctioned as special casual leave in a calendar year.
Who will get these holidays
These holidays to the Central Employees are effective from 25 April 2023 under the new system. The memorandum issued states that 42 days leave is applicable to government employees appointed to civil services and other posts of the Union of India in terms of Rule 2 of the Rules 1972. This means that this holiday will be available for Railway Employees, members of All India Services, casual or contractual employees etc.
Government employees get medical facilities
Apart from holidays for its employees, the central government also bears the cost of medicines, treatment of serious diseases and any kind of tests etc. The government provides medical allowance and facilities to the employees on the basis of need. At the same time, subsidy is also issued on medical expenses for some schemes.
