Srinagar, July 28: The Sher-i-Kashmir Institute of Medical Sciences (SKIMS) in Soura has taken note of employees proceeding on leaves without the proper approval from the authorities, directing strict adherence to the prescribed protocols in this regard.
“It has been observed that many staff members under the administrative purview of the Hospital Administration Department of Sher-i-Kashmir Institute of Medical Sciences, Soura, apply for leaves on short notice and leave the department without waiting for the sanction orders from the Competent Authority,” reads a circular issued in this regard.
The directives emphasize that no employee at SKIMS should take leave without obtaining proper sanction orders, except under extraordinary circumstances, such as medical leaves.
This reminder comes after multiple instances of staff members flouting the leave protocols, causing disruptions in the institute’s functioning.
To address this issue effectively, the SKIMS administration has reemphasized the need for staff to comply with the prescribed leave application timelines. “Employees intending to avail earned leave or Ex-India leave are urged to follow the instructions diligently.”
For earned leave, staff members, as per the directives, are required to apply well in advance, preferably at least 15 days before the planned leave period.
Similarly, for Ex-India leave, the circular instructs employees to submit their applications a minimum of 45 days before the intended leave date through their respective Heads of Departments (HoDs).
