Doubt About Leave Entitlement During Probation

Shraddha Jadhav
hello All,
Hey currently i m working as an Hr executive.in an electrical company.. i hav doubt abt Leave policy... if the person has joined in d month of june so he is on probation period.. according to our leave policy if he takes leave it is deducted frm his salary.till his completion of probation period. so is ths calcualtion considered as Loss of PAY.. means consider an example..
in the mnth of augst- 10 days
so leave taken is any type of leave(CL or Pl or SL) 10 days fr that month.so we deduct his salry fr 10 days..
so does it mean he is not entitled for any leave till probation..and should it be considered as loss of pay..
If we consider it as LOP that means he is entitled fr leave..reply do d needful..
Regards
Shraddha

Leave policy is generally an internal issue and is included in the Standing Orders of the company. Provisions in the Standing Orders will be binding on the employees. Therefore, if your probationers are not eligible for any leave, then absence shall be treated as loss of pay. However, the basic law pertaining to the establishment will have a direct bearing on such issues also. For example, if your establishment comes under your State's Shops and Commercial Establishments Act, then the leave rules provided in that will have to be referred to. In most of the Acts no mention of whether an employee is under probation or not is made. However, under Factories Act (which is a Central Act) an employee is eligible to leave only after he completes one year of service and is in the form of earned leave for every 20 days worked subject to certain condition that he should have worked at least for 240 days in the previous year.
