Srinagar, Jan 24: In order to ensure transparency in leave request processing, the Government Medical College (GMC), Srinagar, has integrated the Leave Management System (LMS) with the existing J&K Human Resource Management System (JKHRMS).
Officials stated that the LMS module of the institution has been integrated with JKHRMS to facilitate employees in submitting leaves and ensuring timely processing with a special focus on the transparency of the entire process.
“This will allow employees to formally submit their leave solicitations before the leave sanctioning authority to ensure time-bound processing of leave requests,” officials explained.
They added that the integrated module will also ensure the maintenance of leave accounts and accurate record-keeping on JKHRMS, thereby augmenting efficiency, transparency, and accuracy in processing leave requests.
It is noteworthy that, as per the directions issued by the General Administration Department (GAD), all DDOs have been instructed to update employees’ leave accounts and map them with the authorities competent to grant leave according to the Jammu and Kashmir Civil Services (Leave Rules), 1979.
