  • 09/08/2024

The authorities have initiated a review of the Circular Council for the Civil Service to review the rules and regulations related to employee leave in public offices. These sources explained that the circular was intended to prevent abuse of leaves outside the legal and legal framework. There is an ongoing debate on this topic in many industries.


One of the important measures proposed is to prevent the conversion of sick leave to regular leave and to strengthen the rules related to this leave. The purpose is to ensure that the leave is used only for the intended purpose and not misused for other purposes. For example, some employees convert sick leave to regular leave after an injury, so they can claim sick leave with full pay and no deductions.
