STAFF:
Leave Management:-
Hitherto leave of officials working in Circle Office is being processed in a
manual environment wherein each official is required to give his / her leave
application in a manual format. The said
application is being processed in files involving multiple handling &
consumes lot of time of the officers. To
address this issue Core System Integrator (CSI) has designed a portal in it,
which is Employee Self Service (ESS) portal.
This portal is designed in such a way that each employee can login the
ESS using his / her user credentials & apply leave electronically. The leave thus applied will flow to the leave
sanction authority immediately & leave gets processed as per rules
instantaneously. This portal also caters
to the needs of employees on various service related issues like GPF, Pay,
Income Tax, Family Particulars etc. Thus
Employee Self Service is a single point where all service related issues are
attended on real time basis with accuracy.
Hosting of Rule 38
particulars in Maharashtra Circle Website:- In Maharashtra Circle thousands of
employees have applied for Rule 38 transfer from one division to another in the
Circle. Officials are not aware of the
details of the process in which their applications are being processed like
seniority etc. In order to make the
system transparent & effective the list of employees who have applied for
Rule 38 transfer is prepared & hosted on www.maharashtrapost.gov.in so that
all employees will know their position in the list. Employees have also been provided an
opportunity to represent if they find any discrepancy in seniority in the
list. This initiative has got very good
response from the employees. The list
which was hosted on 14.06.2019 has got nearly 200 representations so far. This has helped staff Section to update the
list & to instil transparency in transfer. These are some of the
initiatives taken in Staff Section using Technology for smooth conduct of work
& to bring in the transparency.
