Seniority issue

Ravindra (Querist) 01 September 2014 This query is : Resolved
Respected Expert,

I am an employee of a private teaching institution in Karnataka. The institution follows Karnataka Civil Services Regulations.

I was given appointment order dated 2nd of the month. The appointment order was for three persons. The first name being mine followed by two others in the appointment order.

I joined on the next day, i.e, 3rd of the month.

The person whose name appears second in the appointment order joined on the same day as the appointment order was issued, i.e, 2nd of the month. But, subsequently incurred leave without pay for 4 days.

I have requested the institution authorites to consider my seniority based on:
- my name appears first in the appointment order list.
- duration of continous service without loss of allowance being highest for me.

Kindly let me know which of these grounds holds good according to K.C.S.R.

1. You will be deemed senior to the second named person despite the fact that he joined on the same date of the appointment letter. If he has gone on unpaid leave after joining naturally he will suffer seniority loss.
