Calculation of Half pay leave

 West Bengal Service Rules

Calculation procedure of Half-pay Leave

(a) The present system of crediting half-pay leave for 20 days in respect of a Government employee for his each completed year of service is being dispensed with. From 1st July, 2001, the half-pay leave account of every Government employee shall be credited with half-pay leave in advance in two instalments of ten days each on the first day of January and July of every calendar year.

(b) The leave shall be credited to the said leave account at the rate of 5/3 days for each completed calendar month of service which a Government employee is likely to render in the half-year of the calendar year in which he is appointed.

(c) The credit for the half-year in which a Government employee is due to retire or resigns from the service shall be allowed at the rate of 5/3 days per completed calendar month up to the date of retirement or resignation.

(d) When a Government employee is removed or dismissed from service or dies while in service, credit of half-pay leave shall be allowed at the rate of 5/3 days per completed calendar month up to the end of the calendar month preceding the calendar month in which he is removed or dismissed from service or dies in service.

(e) Where a period of absence or suspension of a Government employee has been treated as 'dies non'in a half-year the credit to be afforded to his half-pay leave account at the commencement of the next half-year, shall be reduced by '/4th of the period of 'dies non' subject to a maximum of 10 days.

( f) While affording credit of half-pay leave, fraction of a day shall be rounded off to the nearest day.

(g) While introducing this new system, calculation of half-pay leave for incomplete portion up to 30th June, 2001, may be regulated in the following manner:

The employees may be allowed the benefit of half-pay leave for the incomplete period of service till 30th June, 2001, by crediting to their half-pay leave account at the rate of 5/3 days per month on 1st July, 2001, along with the advance credit of half-pay leave. While calculating the completed month of service, the month may be rounded off to the next higher, if it exceeds more than 15 days. For example if an employee who has completed a year's service as on 11.11.2000, he may be given the benefit of half-pay leave from November, 2000 (since it exceeds more than 15 days) to June, 2001, for 13 days 

5/3 × 8 = 13 1/3
