F.       STAFF:

1.      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.




2.         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.
