Well, this happened to my wife, not me.My wife’s had a 25-year career as an HR professional. She started out as a recruiter, but she’s done everything from payroll management to terminations to responding to legal challenges to unemployment claim denials.The unfortunate termination revolves around FMLA. FMLA, or Family and Medical Leave Act, provides for unpaid leave for employees when medically necessary for themselves or immediate family members. Wife gives birth? FMLA authorized. Need time off for chemo? FMLA authorized. Kid has a concussion during recess? FMLA authorized. There are some exceptions and restrictions, but generally speaking, that’s how it works.Even some elective medical procedures are considered okay for FMLA. For example, you couldn't get FMLA for a rhinoplasty procedure when the reason is “I just wanted to be cuter,” but you could have a breast reconstruction procedure following a mastectomy and that passes muster under FMLA and leave would be authorized.So. I told you all that to tell you this.An employee requested a month of FMLA leave for a medical procedure. It was an elective procedure, and as it turned out, it wasn't authorized under the Act. So wife’s employer declined.Ms. Employee went and had the procedure anyway and faxed in a letter from her doctor saying that FMLA leave was necessary because following the procedure, it was painful for her to walk and sit.What?Well, had she gotten the letter *before* the procedure, Employer would have made an exception per corporate policy (they did permit exception cases if the doctor involved provided a written request and explanation) — which she did, but after the fact. So Employer made an exception to the exception and authorized her normally-not-authorized FMLA leave.She returned to work and everyone figured it was dealt with. Well, that’s what my wife thought until Ms. Employee started showing before and after pictures to her coworkers.When my wife terminated her, she had to explain that showing before and after pictures of your freshly bleached anus is not acceptable workplace behavior.Oh, did I leave that part out at the beginning of the story?Epilogue: my wife had to explain, in detail, what anal bleaching was to her very prissy and religious VP, who didn't get what was going on. And she wanted to know how my wife knew what it was.Well, DUH. My wife didn't know what it was before the whole thing started, but she had to handle all the documentation, research the permissibility of the procedure and Google “anal bleaching” on her PC at work.My wife was not paid enough at that job.

An IAS officer gets all the holidays which any government officer gets. Meaning the holidays are declared in advance by state and central government under negotiable instruments act. Generally some holidays are common in state as well as in union. But some holidays are declared by a particular state. So an IAS officer gets holidays according to his/her posting.An IAS officer is the backbone of Indian administration so he hardly gets time to enjoy completely because governments rules say that Govt officer is an employee who needs to work 24/7. So he/she has to be on alert on holidays too.Officially there are some casual leaves, earned leaves and medical leaves etc. But these leaves has to be enjoyed with prior approval of competent authority. Except medical leaves all other leaves which are taken with prior approval may get cancelled in the times of exigencies or urgent work by sanctioning authorities.An IAS officer is bound by civil services rules so he has to follow them in letter and spirit. Rule states that a govt officer can leave the boundries of headquarter (place of work and posting) only with prior permission so this applies to going abroad for vacations. He/She has to seek permission of Govt for enjoying vacations to foreign country.Rousseau said “man is born free but everywhere he has chains” likewise an IAS officer is free (before selection) but everywhere he/she has chains of govt rules and regulations (after getting inducted)hope this answer satisfies your query.
