Understanding LOP Leave Procedures: Can Anyone Share Their Experience?

Hi,

Can anyone let me know the LOP leave procedures?

Thanks,
Srin

Hi Srin,

Any unauthorized/unapproved leave may result in LOP. If you have any specific queries, let me know.

Regards

Ash, thank you for your reply. Previously, I had posted a query regarding the LOP. Can you please answer my query in the below post in the same forum [Doubt regarding LOP leave procedures](https://www.citehr.com/112351-doubt-regarding-lop-leave-procedures.html).

Thanks,

Hi everyone,

Please let me know in case we deduct the salary for unapproved leaves, are there any legal complications that we may have to face.

For unauthorized leave/absence, deductions shall be made from the salary. There is no legal complication in it. Section 7(2)(b) of the Payment of Wages Act, 1936, permits deductions from wages due to absence from duty.

Each company may have its leave policy. Concerning leave without pay, the normal practice is that Loss of Pay (LOP) is granted in extraordinary circumstances when the employee has no other leave to his credit. However, continuous leave without pay for more than a week shall be viewed seriously.
