Earned Leave (EL) can be combined with most other types of leave admissible under the CCS Leave Rules, including Half Pay Leave (HPL), Maternity Leave, Paternity Leave, Child Care Leave, Commuted Leave, Leave Not Due, and Study Leave. Casual Leave is not a recognized type of leave under the rules and cannot be combined with any other leave. Option C includes Half Pay Leave, Maternity Leave, and “sick leave” (which typically refers to leave on medical grounds, i.e., HPL or Commuted Leave). All three can be combined with Earned Leave.
The general rule is that Earned Leave can be combined with any other type of leave *except* Casual Leave.
The CCS Leave Rules provide flexibility for government servants to combine different types of leave to suit their needs, subject to admissibility and specific rules for each leave type. This allows for extended periods of absence when necessary, such as for medical reasons (combining EL with HPL/Commuted Leave), childcare (EL with Maternity/Paternity/Child Care Leave), or self-improvement (EL with Study Leave).
