Thiruvananthapuram : The Finance Department on Monday issued Order clarifying that leave surrender benefit granted by the State government recently will apply to employees working in universities, state-funded local bodies, public sector u nits, welfare boards and other establishments.
The Order released earlier made mention of only state govt employees and teachers, hence the new order bringing greater clarification.
As per recent government decision, Order was issued to credit Surrenderable Earned Leave amount into the Provident Fund account. Such credit transfer was suspended owing to financial crisis caused by Covid pandemic. Leave surrender benefit was re-enabled for staff working in the last grade, municipal contingent, part-time contingent category, personal staffs for ministers, Opposition Leader, Chief Whip, office attendants, cooks etc.
