A pilot project on applying for childcare leave online will be started soon by the Haryana Education Department.
"The project will be started keeping in mind the convenience of the woman employees in the schools.
In the first phase of the pilot project the PGT teachers can apply for child care leave online," a spokesman of the department said on Monday.
He said that it was decided to take the application for 'Child Care Leave' and further process the leaves on the HRMS portal to develop online modules in the School Education Department of Haryana.
The facility has been provided so that the woman employees do not have to run from pillar to post to enquire about the status of their leave. He said that in the first phase, the online process of 'Child Care Leave' for two weeks has been started for PGT teachers, after which this facility will be started for other women employees as well.
In this, the official concerned who approves the 'Child Care Leave' will handle their HRMS accounts themselves. He informed that officers will also be imparted training to explain the process of application.
