Sir
My brother has joined as ARO (Assistant Revenue Officer), Rajasthan Rajya Vidyut Prasaran Nigam Ltd. in August, 2011 as probationer on a permanent post. The probation period was of two years.
Due to some family problems, he was on leave from office since September, 2009. Recently, he requested the department to join back wherein they have informed that he can join the services by 01.10.2014 and submit the extraordinary leave for absconding period. (around three years). They wrote:
"With reference to your request, you are directed to join by 01.10.2014 and submit extra-ordinary leaves for regularization of absconding period."
Sir, my questions in this regard are as follows:
(i) Whether he need to give medical certificate for such period or he can quote the family problems while applying for such extraordinary leaves;
(ii) Whether regularization of his absconding period by EOL will count in probation period or he will require to undergo fresh two years probation period.
(iii) what will be his date of joining for the purpose of calculation of seniority for future promotions;
(iv) whether this period of EOL will be counted for future promotions; and
(v) whether this period of EOL will be counted for other future benefits /schemes like pension etc.?
Sir, please clarify.
Thanks and regards
