Tamil Nadu Government Servants enjoy 189 Holidays a year.
The Government staff normally arrive at least by half an hour;take about 30 minutes to settle down; Coffee break before Lunch is for 15 minutes;Lunch takes about 90 minutes,post Lunch siesta 30 minutes; Coffee break 30 minutes;post Coffee break 15 minutes;preparing to go Home 30 minutes.
Total 4.30 hours.
The time I have taken for calculation is the minimum.
This does not include time spent in searching files,going to other Departments,In-Discussion,normal chit chatting across the table with colleagues.
3.5 hrs per day into 189 days work out to roughly 89 Days taking into account working tome of 8 Hrs /day.
This means Goverment Servants in Tamil Nadu work(?) 100 Days a year.
Bonus is announced?
Please correct my arithmetic, if wrong.
CHENNAI: The list of holidays this year may be getting longer for everyone, but no one’s going to be away from work for as long a period as a Tamil Nadu government employee. With the state increasing the number of public holidays in the year to 25, TN’s list is now among the longest in the country. West Bengal comes close behind with 24 and Kerala with 23, followed by Karnataka with 21 and Maharashtra with 19. Andhra Pradesh staff have 17, same as Central governmentemployees.
TN added one more day to its list with the Tamil New Year on April 13 being the extra holiday. After returning to power, chief minister J Jayalalithaa has reverted to the practice of marking the first day of Tamil month Chithirai (middle of April) as new year’s day.
To boot, there are 53 Sundays and 52 Saturdays in 2012 when a TN government employee would usually not be at work. He or she can also avail of 30 days privilege leave, 12 days of casual leave, 15 days of sick leave and two restricted holidays. Some public holidays overlap with weekends, but all in all, a government employee can choose not to go to work for as many as 181 days, which is virtually half the year.
