Is It Mandatory to Include Sick Leave in Our Office Leave Policy? Seeking Advice

Hi,

I have a concern related to the leave policy in our office. We have recently implemented changes to the policy, providing employees with 10 days of casual leave and 30 days of earned leave per year. However, there is currently no provision for sick leave.

Could you please advise if it is mandatory to include sick leave in our policy?

Thank you.

Dear Member,

If any of the Acts relating to the grant of Sick Leave are applicable to your office, then you are liable to grant these leaves to your employees. In general, offices are covered under the respective state Shops and Establishment Act. If found applicable, please go through it to grant different types of leaves.

You are providing 30 Earned leaves a month. Well, this can be split up like 15 for Sick Leaves and 15 as Earned Leaves. This will satisfy both the law and employees. Usually, this is the split - 14 EL, 8 CL, and 8 SL.
