Mr. Saravanan has already posted the extract on Paternity Leave.

It is correct that such leave is normally not refused.

However you need to refer to the leave rules that apply to your establishment and you.

You have posted about leave at other thread:

The employer/establishment/authorities in hierarchy has to look into other parameters e.g. leave already availed, headcount available etc, as well to run the teaching properly.

You shall need to convince them, if required.

Sir,

      I'm working as a technical staff in the institution.I had not taken much leave .Also in the leave application there is a coloumn mentioning alternative arrangement .My friend with same designation is ready to sign for alternative arrangement.I hope in such cases they cannot deny it.

Kindly suggest.

All said and done the leave rules may cite that leave can not be claimed as a matter of right.

Certainly it should help you. As a technical Asst., you should be covered as a ‘Workman’.

Consult and seek support from your employee’s unions/forums……………….and represent to authority………………….and put across your points for consideration.

Remain gentle and amiable.

If the response of the authority is due to some misunderstanding remove it.
