Respected Sir,
I am working in NPCIL (Government org)in round the shift job (Operations ) for power generation . Being in the shift we have a defined shift schedule. This shift schedule provides us with leave after every 4 days which makes total leaves in a year equalling 91 days . The General shift people gets a total leave of 81 leaves (including Sunday,17 Government holiday and holiday on every 2nd saturday of the month ). This is where the problem arises . Citing that we the shift people are already getting 10 holidays more than the general shift people ,the shift personnel are barred to get any government holiday be it 26 jan 15 aug or any other day! . Moreover the people who are at HQ or cit offices they have both saturday sunday as off .So they get a total of 123 holiday (52 saturdays,52 sundays and 17 Government holidays +2 Ristrected holidays) .When asked why they are taking holidays on saturdays they cite that they are doing an additional hour everyday on weekdays (to be precise they literally do only 0.5 hrs extra but say it 1 hour) . Sir I would also like to bring into your attention that my friends who work in NTPC SAIL IOCL and other org where round the clock job is must they also get 91 holidays in year due to shift and also get 17 government hoidays(or a C off if they are working on that day) thus a total of 108 days holidays . The management is not ready to listen us so kindly tell that whether we being Shift personnel are entitled to get Government holidays or C Offs if we work that day . If we are entitled to get the 17 GH kindly tell the rule or act which supports the claim and the legal procedure we need to follow to implement the same
Thanks and Regards
