May SL Be Carried Foreward?

Dear Colleague,
Plz. let me know, can Sick leave be carried foreward to the next year or it would lapsed in the same year.
Thanking you,

Dear
First examine under which of the enactment you are to grant SL & if the Act does not have any provision of carrying forward these leaves then you can the make rules for the same. One can give better facilities to its employees with out any hesitation.

No sick leave & casual cannot be carryforward for next yaer and its cannot be accumulated also . only El(Pl) is liable to carry forward for next year,

As far I know, CL can't be carry forward but sick leave and PL can be carry forward. Now again things also depend on the company's policy and rules.

Dear jkphrm.
Yes, Sick leave may carry forward upto 90 days.
Hlf the salary may be paid for the remaining days

'No labour law' enacts that a particular leave type can't be carried forwarded to next year/s. It all depends on the leave policy of the company. So management or board can take a call on this.

Yes, sick leaves can be carried forward to next year. It can be accumulated without any limit and shall lapse when the employee retires, resigns or is terminated.

There is no hard and fast rule or neither the law prescribes it.It is the discretion of the management to allow it to be accumulated.

Hi,
Almost all the companies in India allow sick leaves to be carried forward but there must be ceiling on it. Say max 60 days or 75 days can be accumulated. However, it s a management discretion and decision.

NO HARD & FAST RULE FOR CARRY FWD OF LEAVE. In the IR, as a welfare measure, it is STRONGLY advise to carry fwd SL to nxt year.
