Can the employee invoke Rule 31 after the deadline has already passed?

GeneralCCS_CCARule 31

Yes. Rule 31 explicitly covers both extension of time (before the deadline) and condonation of delay (after the deadline). However, applying before the deadline lapses is always preferred, as post-facto condonation requires stronger justification.
