Dear Sir ,

Deduction of Casual Leaves - West Bengal RO

Please refer to the correspondence resting with our letters dated 31/08/10 and 02/11/2010 on the captioned subject. We have been apprised by our West Bengal Unit that the bank has unilaterally debited the Casual Leaves of officers, reportedly for non attending the office on 05/07/2010 and 07/09/2010 .

In this connection, as already apprised to the bank vide our letters under reference, the following is again reiterated-

1. That, it is the prime and sole responsibility of the management to keep the entrance of the office opened during the working hours, so that the officers can enter their workplace unhindered and uninterrupted.

2. The basic responsibility of providing safe and unbridled passage to the officers in and out of the office premises vests with the management.

3. On 05/07/2010 and 07/09/2010 the officers of West Bengal RO have turned up for their duties at the West Bengal RO as at the start of business hours. However, to their utter dismay they found the entrance gate locked up (photographic evidence available with NBOA) . In spite of their best efforts they were unable to enter the office as the management was neither able to get the entrance unlocked nor it provided any security to the officers.

4. In turn, the officers were heckled and abused by certain outsiders, reportedly supporters of the Bandh Call. At that time too, we had lodged a strong protest to the bank on such unsavory incident/s.

5. Now the bank has arbitrarily and unilaterally debited Casual leaves of the officers. The officers of West Bengal unit are peeved at this stance of the bank and have submitted a memorandum to the CGM on 11/04/2011 and have decided to sport black badges and if need be intensify their protest on this legitimate issue.

NBOA, therefore, once again requests you to instruct the RO not to debit any CL or any other type of leaves from the officers for the days under reference. This will pave way for smooth functioning of the office and maintenance of Industrial harmony in the organisation.

Yours Sincerely ,

(Dr.D.S.Chauhan)
