Air India to send non-performing employees on compulsory leave without pay for up to 5 yrs

New Delhi/IBNS: At a time when the aviation industry is hit the most owing to the coronavirus pandemic across the globe, Air India is planning to send some of its non-performing staff members on compulsory leave without pay for a period of up to five years.

A board will assess the performance of the employees based on the following categories: Suitability, efficiency, competence, quality of performance, health of the employee, instance of non-availability of the employee for duty in the past as a result of ill health or otherwise and redundancy.

An order passed on Tuesday allows Air India CMD Rajiv Bansal to now send employees on leave without pay "for six months or for a period of two years extendable upto five years."

The departmental heads at the headquarters, as well as the regional offices, have been given the responsibility of identifying such employees on basis of the given criteria and then forward the names to the General Manager (Personnel) for necessary action.

The move coincides with the government's plan to sell off the airline, a process which has been delayed because of the outbreak of coronavirus.

The pandemic has forced almost all airlines in India to take up cost-cutting measures such as pay cuts and laying off employees.

The domestic passenger flights resumed in India from May 25, after a gap of 2 months.

International passenger flights continue to banned till at least July 31.
