| Re: Leave Record for small organisations Hi ALL EXPERTS:CLARIFICATION SOUGHT RE PL AND SL (Annual Leave and Sick Leave) Combination.
As allowed by the Company rules, an employee has 32 days of PL to his credit and 27 days of fully paid Sick Leave to his credit....
He proceeds on 32days PL, duly applied for and sanctioned.
After 16 days he informs the company by fax, email and a letter through courier that he has fallen ill and he cannot continue enjoying his PL; he says he has SL to his credit and so from 17th day of his leave of absence, he should be considered to be on Sick Leave and not PL. (He is entitled to 30 days of Sick Leave WITHOUT PAY (unpaid sick leave beyond his accumulated Sick Leave). He reports for duty on the 74th day of his proceeding on leave (PL 16, Paid SL 27 and unpaid SL 30)and says his unavailed PL of 16 days should reman to his credit on the leave record card for future use. ( He did submit initial and final Medical reports.
What should be the legally right thing to do? (My personal view is that sick leave is meant for sickness; and should be allowed; but this is a strange case.)
