There can not be any leave without sufficient reasons. All leave sought are suppose to be with genuine reasons only. Therefore, if the employees do not hold leave to their credit, let them be on leave without pay only. If you give leave (special ) with pay finding that the reason is genuine, later when another person comes with yet another reason which is also genuine, the matter will go out of your control. Finally, as an HR man you only will be answerable to the MD. I will not advise you to deviate from any policy but flexibility can be there with regard to implementation of policies. But always think that privileges become right and,therefore, think twice before granting any privilege.

As Mr. Madhu rightly says - follow the policy. Also keep in mind that in future if you deviate from the policy for one person, someone else also might expect the same from you. It is very essential to be consistent in our decisions... deviate only when there is an exception but do not end up creating too many exceptions.

Hi,
I would agree to both Madhu and Nikita that you should follow the company policy.
As the employees are on probation you should deduct the 15 days salary. Usually the employees who are on probation are not entitled for leave unless your company has such policy. If they have sufficient leave balance you can always consider that.
Thanks

Follow the policy, but as you being the HR Manager you can speak to the MD on behalf of your employees and get them some relaxation.
Thanks n regards

Hi, i would agree with all on policy part, if you have a policy on these type of leaves.
If you don't have a policy then it is high time that you frame a policy and get it approved.
As madhu has communicated all the leaves are genuine and stick to your company policy.

My suggestion would be to consider this case as genuine. Employees are primarily HR/HC. Being responsible for HR, you should encourage self development endeavours by employees. HRD is also HR responsibility.

I agree with Mr.Madhu's suggestion, Better follow the Leave rules and if any balance available in his credit accordingly post the leave and balance make without pay.
