Thiruvananthapuram:
The Kerala government on Wednesday announced relaxation of working hours for its employees suffering from autistic disorder, cerebral palsy, multiple disabilities and mental retardation.
The government said in a statement here that one of the government employees who is the parent of a child with 40 per cent or more disabilities will be given relaxation in working hours.
It added that one such employee would be allowed a maximum of 16 hours out of the total working hours in a month.
This is in addition to the concessions currently being given to government employees.
The decision was taken at a meeting of the state cabinet chaired by Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan today.
