How long to wait for earned leave approval and substitute?
I am working as a Departmental Postman. I applied for a two-day earned leave request 16 days ago, but I have not received any response regarding my leave request. I would like to know within how many days an earned leave request must be granted or denied. Additionally, I need to know whether I am required to find and arrange a Gramin Dak Sevak substitute myself in order for the leave to be granted by the inspector.
As a Departmental Postman, it is expected that your request for earned leave should get processed within 10 to 15 days. In case it exceeds 16 days, you would follow up on the same with your reporting supervisor or HR for an explanation. To arrange a substitute Gramin Dak Sevak as far as the process is concerned, it is usually up to the department to find a substitute. However, some departments may request your assistance in locating the substitute. Confirm this with your inspector to know your role and adhere to departmental policies.
Ideally, it would take an earned leave request a reasonable period not beyond 10 to 15 days but depending on the departments. If after 16 days you have yet to get a response, you could follow up with your supervisor or the HR about this matter. Now, for covering up, this would most likely be up to the discretion of the department itself as who would replace the Gramin Dak Sevak. However, if your department does require such a document for approval of leave, clear this with your inspector so that you stay within their policies.
Sir, your earned leave request should be addressed within 7-10 working days but if delayed then you can escalate the matter to the higher authorities. Generally, arranging a substitute is not your responsibility. It is advised to consult an expert lawyer who will assist you with the best course of action.
