Harasment from employer

.i was employee of rajasthan judiciary .while on job,they didn’t sanctioned any leave in case of sickness,and forced me to work long hours after office time and even on public holidays.they harassed me mentally.
i was stenographer


Also they never dictated any thing to me……and asked me to write down judgement in files.and intentionally harassed me.

I worked from morning 7am to 6pm in office even when office timings where from 7am to 12:30pm



They mentally harassed me due to which I suffered from high blood pressure,and backbone pain,due to which i took medical leave on advice of my doctor, and they opened inquiry intentionally and not sanctioned my medical leave and My magistrate gave me threatening that she is going to make problems in my pension and retirement if I m not going to work long hours. And she gave me too many notices.

She gave me order to come at her residence in public holidays for dictation,infact there was no file pending in judgement in order.both magistrates manipulated the judgements .

Many times I requested for transfer to DJ,but he never agreed and told me that he will not transfer me nor is going to retire me.but eventually he retired me.fax was received on 8th august 2012 for order of retirement under section 50(2) with pending inquiry.

Atlast on 5th july I gave my VRS application but,DJ gave me chargesheet under section 16cca dated 9th july which was served to me on 16-july 2012. in this inquiry when I demanded documents ,all documents were not provided even after 2mths of application. again I wrote an application on 1-10-2012,till now no documents are provided.my gratuity and pension and some of my bills are still due.



my pf money and my medical leave ,which was not sasnctioned money is still due.

Info-employer responsibilities for night shift employees

Hi,

I have been looking for details on the responsibilities of an employer towards employees working the night shift.

- Do the employers need to pay higher salary to employees working the night shift?
- What are the facilities that need to be provided?
- Any other applicable requirement?

I have found relevant clauses under the Bombay Shops & Establishments Act. However, I could not find any specific references to night shift employees in commercial establishments.

Looking forward to your replies.

Thank you.

After being transferred from State Bank of India, Ashok Nagar, Ranchi submitted joining letter through bearer at other Branch and made representation to the Branch Manager, of the Branch, praying therein that I am a physically challenged person and it is quite difficult for me to climb up stairs and requested her to accept his joining which is being sent through bearer.

On 29th Sept.2012 the I was promoted to MMGS-II scale. The Deputy General Manager, SBI, Ranchi without paying any heed to requests earlier made by me for change of Branch and assignment, allotted Region – III, Daltonganj for my eventual posting and also took decision for relieving me on 19th January, 2013.

On 13th January, 2013 again made representation to Deputy General Manager, State Bank of India, Ranchi Module through proper channel stating therein that his appointment was made on PH category and I am suffering from “Post – Traumatic Ankylosis” or left hip “Coxa-vara” of the right hip, with Bending & shortening of right shaft and “Steel Plating” with 63% disability. In my representation I requested the Deputy General Manager that earlier I had made a written request on 18th July, 2012 to the Regional Manager, Ranchi for reconsideration and change of my assignment. I also apprised Deputy General Manager that despite of my physical disability I was doing my best, and during the performance of my duties even I met with an accident and was in bed rest for 1 week in July 2012 and for 1 month in Sept.2012, on the advice of the attending doctor. In my representation I stated that, on 29th Sept. 2012 I have been promoted to MMGS-II scale and have been allotted Region – III for my eventual posting and likely to be relieved on 19th Jan. 2013 as informed by the Regional Office, RBO-I, Ranchi.

I also informed the Deputy General Manager in my representation that my wife who is also a State Bank Officer was transferred inter circle in the month of April, 2012 from Other State on spouse ground out of turn basis. I also informed that she is undergoing advance stage of pregnancy.

I was on medical leave and on 07th March, 2013 only received aforesaid letter dated 23rd Feb 2023 through his landlord, which was delivered on 28th Feb 2013 by Special Branch Messenger to my landlord. A copy of the said letter was also sent to me on 07th March, 2013 by Registered Post at his parental address at Dhanbad.

on 22nd Feb. 2013 made application to Branch Manager, present Branch, Ranchi stating therein to sanction sick leave for 2 weeks from today i.e. 22.02.2013 to 09.03.2013, as he has been advised to take bed rest.

on 08th March, 2013 again I filed application for grant of leave for the period 10th March, 2013 to 10th April, 2013 to the Chief Manager SBI present Branch Ranchi with copy to Regional Manager-RBO-III, SBI, Daltonganj, on health ground annexing medical prescription. I on 09th April, 2013 again made application to Chief Manager, present Branch, Ranchi with copy to Regional Manager-RBO-III, SBI, Daltonganj, for extension of leave from 11.04.2013 to 11.05.2013 on health ground.

I made complaint before the Chief Commissioner for Persons with Disabilities, Sarojini House, New Delhi, U/S 58 of “The Persons with Disabilities (Equal Opportunities, protection of Rights and full Participation) Act, 1995” against the BAnk Officials, stating therein his grievances and requested him to consider his case and pass appropriate direction in this regard.

The Deputy Chief Commissioner vide his letter dated 12th March, 2013 advised General Manager, State Bank of India, Network – 2, Local Head Office, West Gandhi Maidan, Patna to consider representation of the petitioner in light of guidelines of Ministry of Finance, Department of Economic Affairs (Bank Division) letter no. 302/33/2/87-SCT(B) dated 15.02.1988.

I also made representation to The State Disability Commissioner-Jharkhand , Ranchi U/S 61 of “ The Persons with Disabilities (Equal Opportunities, protection of Rights and full Participation)Act,1995”, stating therein his grievances.
The State Disability Commissioner, Jharkhand , Ranchi, vide her letter dated 21.03.2013 & 27.04.2013 has directed the Deputy General Manager, SBI, Katchehary Road, Ranchi to ensure transfer of the petitioner as per the provision of Disability act, 1995.

The Deputy General Manager (B&O) vide letter dated 2nd April 2013 informed me that the competent authority has decided for re-examination of my medical fitness and advised me to appear at the chamber of Sr. Bank Medical Officer on 08.04.2013.

On 06.04.2013 I made representation to Manager (HR), State Bank of India, Administrative Office, Katchehary Road, Ranchi stating therein that I was recently examined for my medical fitness on 18th Dec. 2012 on my promotion from Scale – I to Scale – II. I in my representation stated that no reason has been assigned for medical re-examination. I requested Manager (HR) that the reason for re-examination and the parameters of examination may be advised to me and copy of Medical re-examination report may be provided for my record.

On 09.04.2013, Sr. Bank Medical Officer, State Bank of India vide his letter dated 09.04.2013 requested the Civil Surgeon-cum-Chief Medical Officer, Sadar Hospital, Ranchi that I should be re-examined with reference to my physical disability by a duly constituted medical board as per the norms and also give valuable opinion regarding my disability.
Accordingly, the petitioner was re-examined on 11th April, 2013 by duly constituted Medical Board at Sadar Hospital, Ranchi and petitioner was found with 63% physical disability .

Instead of posting me as per the guidelines of Ministry of Finance, Department of Economic Affairs (Banking Division), letter no. 302/33/2/87-SCT (B) dated 15.02.1988 as well as the guidelines issued by Govt. of India, Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions (Deptt. of Personnel & Training) letter no. 28034/9/2009-Estt. (A) dated 30.09.2009, the Bank Officials, illegally transferred my services to RBO III, Daltonganj and also stopped my salary from 1st April 2013 and other regular allowances from 1st March 2013.

Without passing any orders with respect to leave application submitted by me they have declared the period from 01.04.2013 to 11.05.2013 as unauthorized leave and extended the same till 25.12.2015.

I am also not being allowed to fill his annual appraisal report online, which is very important for further promotions, as the same has been blocked.

As per letter contained in Ministry of Finance, Department of Economic Affairs (Banking Division), letter no. 302/33/2/87-SCT(B) dated 15.02.1988 provides :
“Physically handicapped persons who are employed in public sector banks in all cadres should normally be exempted from routine periodic transfers. Such persons should not be transferred even on promotion if a vacancy exists in the same branch /office / town/city. If the transfer of a physically handicapped employee becomes evitable on promotion to a place other than his original place of appointment due to non -availability of vacancy, it should be ensured that such employees are kept nearest to their original place of posting and in such cases are not transferred to far off /remote places”.

The Bank Officials have considered request for change of transfer order made by other employees, who were similarly placed to the petitioner in MMGS-II scale and also accommodated them but has not acceded to the request made by petitioner despite being well aware that the petitioner is handicapped person with 63% disability and entitled to be considered as per Government of India guidelines as above.

The decision of the Bank to transfer myservices to RBO III , Daltonganj is also bad in law as they are also duty bound to consider the guidelines of Govt. of India, Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions (Deptt. of Personnel & Training) letter no. 28034/9/2009-Estt. (A) dated 30.09.2009, and post Husband and wife at the same station, when both partners are working in the same PSU Bank, in order to enable them to lead a normal family life and look after the welfare of their children especially till the children attain 18 years of age.

The action of the BAnk whereby they have declared period from 01.04.2013 to 11.05.2015 and extended till 25.12.2015 as unauthorized leave without passing any order with respect to the leave application filed by me speaks of malafide and same is illegally, arbitrary and against the well settled principles of law.

The action of the Bank of withholding salary and other allowances payable to me, though I have applied for leave through proper channel is illegal and arbitrary and against settled principles of law.

That Bank Officials are also not allowing me to mark annual appraisal report online which speaks of malafide and same is illegal, arbitrary.
