Dear Colleagues,

The issue of creating a Leave Procedure/s to me should actually start with a Leave Roster.

This Leave Roster has to be approved by Management with the consent of the Line Managers and of course the HR of the Company-putting into consideration the following...

EARNED LEAVE

*Convenient Time Leave Period Sort By Individual Employee

*Volume of Business/Work load at this time/season

*Availability of Relief Officer for Officer on Leave

*Is Leave Period Convertible to Cash

CASUAL LEAVE

*How urgent/important is the casual leave sort

*Confirm purpose-exam, family related-eg burials, weddings etal

SICK LEAVE

*Most times Doctors' recommendation/s duration of stay-home

*Endorsed Sick Leave paper from Medical Practitioner submitted to the HR is very vital.

However there is this aspect of Leave Period available based on Career Status, for instance while Casual and Sick Leave period could be 7 days for the year through the rank and file of the Company-I do not think 15 days should be flat for everyone-eg CEO, GM etal.

I would suggest a staggered period based on seniority and status in the Company.

In addition Leave Period should be encashable if officer chooses not to go on leave-especsially if induced by Company pressure.

Thanks.

Dear Antony

As far as procedure on Leave is concerned , it depends upon tphilosophyphy of the organisation.

Since your's is a manufacturiunitint. Under factories act, there is only provision for Sick and Earned (Leave With Wages) Leave.

Casual Leave fall under Industrial establishment Act.

You are free to give any number of leaves but under factories act , leave with wages is restricted to One leave for every 20 days of working and further an individual is required to complete minimum 240 days for becoming entitled to the leave with wages. This leave is encashable and encashment is exempted from income tax upto an encashment of Rs.3 lacs. This exemption is applicable at the time of retirement or resignation. Many organisations give more than 15 days of leave to employees under this category and considers this with the employee cost to company.

As far availmentent is concerned , under factories act , this leave can be sanctioned for minimum of 3 days and maximum of 3 times in a leave year. Again many organisations sanction earned leave even for one day and on more thanoccassionsons.

Sick leave under the factories act , is applicable to all employee who fall sick during the leave year. There is no number specified for this . but many organisations provide 7, 10 or 15 days of sick leave during the year even if employee is covered with the employees sate insurance act and scheme. Under ESI scheme in case an employee falls sick due to any disease the doctor can sanction bed rest for any number of period , till the fitness of the employee. This is also termed as sick leave but may be with or without pay. If employee is covered under ESI scheme and rest has been recommended by ESI dispensary / hospital doctor. ESI authorities will pay compensation for this loss of salary / wages employeeyee. This is onapplicaleale if employer is not paying any benefits of compensation to the concerned employee.

Casual leave is again depends upon the policy of the company. generally 7 days of casual leave is being granted to every employee , in order to attend / discharge his social responsibilities.

Further in general in every industry combination of casual leave with other type of leaves is not permissible, I do not find any reason behind that. If restriction is the target or reduciabsenteeismesm is target , this theory was applicable when most of the work force wunorganizedsed. The scenario has changed now.

Leave without pay is also another type of leave , which is generally discouraged but in case of exigencies this is applicable and helps employers to restrict misuse of leaprivilegeage given by an employer.

Compensatory leave is another type of leave under Factories act. Under this employee is compensated with leave with wages for his absence from duty against the work performed by s/he on any other day when normal working was not there. Under factories act this leave can be availed by employee any time till his/ her retirement.



In nutshell it philospyspy of the company to provide leave benefits to its employees for keeping their morales high.

Hello friends..
Can all those working in IT compnapies share as to how doyou monitor leaves being taken and being recorded too. How do you validate that a person who absents himself on a day also fills in / applies for the leave?
What are the checks in place?
Would appreciate if you can share. In our current system of filing leave cards it is difficult to check wether a person who has taken a leave has filled in his levae card honestly too.
