General Administration Department- Maternity leave to Married, Women Government Servants- Treating the maternity leave as duty for the purpose of counting the probation period and for declaration of probation- Orders – Issued.
orders have been issued enhancing the maternity leave on full pay to married women employees of State Government from 120 days to 180 days on par with the employees of the Govt. of India, subject to the condition that it shall be granted to those with less than two surviving children only.
According to the Statuary Service Rules under Annexure VIII of A.P Fundamental
Rules, Leave taken by a probationer constitutes a break in the continuity of probation.
This will cause extension of probation of married women employees who avail maternity leave during their period of probation and result in the loss of their seniority.
In the reference 2nd read above, the Chairman, APJAC, Amaravathi, Vijayawada
has requested the Government to treat the maternity leave sanctioned to the married women employees during the probation as duty for the purpose of probation on par with the married women employees in Kerala Government as there is no financial implication and very few number of women will get the benefit. Government after careful examination of the matter hereby order that maternity leave sanctioned as per the orders issued in the reference 1st read above shall be treated as duty for the purpose of counting the probation period and for declaration of probation. Government also order that other kinds of leave combined with the maternity leave shall not be treated as duty for the purpose of probation as per the existing rules.
