The State government has suspended the surrender and encashment of earned leave by employees and teachers till June 30 this year, citing financial constraints caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
In November 2020, following the COVID-19 outbreak, the government had issued orders freezing the surrender of earned leave till May 31, 2021. This was later extended.
The latest order, issued on Wednesday, said: ‘‘in continuation of the economy measures adopted to tide over the financial constraints caused by the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic, periodical surrender of earned leave for the financial year 2022-23, by all categories of employee and teachers (in State/UGC/AICTE/NJPC scales), including those on temporary appointments, will be deferred till June 30, 2022.”
