This query is : Resolved
I work in a Private Engineering College in Pune as Asst. Professor since One year. Recently our management is denying Casual Leaves for the staff. They tell openly that if you want a leave take 'LWP' (Leave Without Pay). As I believe Casual Leave is a right of an employee, whether any action can be taken against the Principal or management?

There will be terms and conditions at the time of appointment in most private colleges(Eng.etc....). Generally the private colleges gives 12 casual leaves in a year for the employees. see the terms and conditions and follow accordingly. But whereas in Goverment(state and central) service, leave is not a right but it is a previlage.

Thank you for your reply Mr. Kumar Doab and Mr. Kavksatyanarayana. Yes there are terms and conditions but it's nowhere mentioned that casual leaves are not allowed. Actually we were getting the paid leaves before. It's a recent decision of the management and all the staff members are furious about it. But don't know what can be done.

Prima-facie no leave on a particular date is a matter of right for any employee.
you ha not been able to describe problem correctly. There is no clarity
whether lee is not admissible
or
leave is admissible but not being granted by the Principal.

Thank you Mr. Sudhir Kumar. Sir, I apologize for the improper framing of the query. I missed to mention that I am eligible for getting a leave and I have unused casual leaves in my account. This is the case with all other staff members too. As I have mention earlier, this is a recent decision of the management otherwise there was no problem in getting a leave. And its not the matter of particular date sir, the management is not at all allowing the paid leaves but they are open to grant Leave Without Pay. That means they are not concerned about the academic loss of students, due to the absence of the teacher. In fact as a part of professional ethics and practice the teacher asking for a leave adjusts his lectures and practicals in advance with other teachers so that the students do not suffer academic loss.

If a particular employee has been denied leave on a particular date then no action can be taken.
However, if the management alters the terms and conditions of service and changes eligibility of leave then you can move to labour court and even complaint to the organisation which has given recognition/affiliation to it.

When you post next thread with your ID do make proper mention of your duties on record...
If you are a teacher you may not be covered under def/ of 'Workman' as in ID Act and Labor Court/CGIT .........is not the appropriate forum to be approached....
