Sindh health department makes digital leave applications mandatory from Sept 1
Notification says leave without approval through online portal system will be treated as unauthorised absence
The Sindh Health and Population Welfare Department announced on Saturday that starting September 1, all senior officials classified as BPS-16 to BPS-20 must submit their leave applications exclusively through the Human Resource Management Information System (HRMIS) portal. This marks the discontinuation of the traditional paper-based leave submission method.
Deputy Secretary (Staff) Ali Nawaz Channa emphasized in a letter that any leave applications submitted on paper or via other conventional means after August 31 would not be accepted and could result in severe disciplinary action. Furthermore, any absence from duty without prior approval of leave through the HRMIS Portal would be considered unauthorized.
The department urged section officers to ensure strict compliance with this new system and process all leave applications exclusively through the portal. Employees or officers experiencing difficulties in submitting leave applications through the portal could reach out to Chief Technical Officer Dr. Allah Bakhsh Mushtaq for assistance.
