Combining CL and SL for Leave: Is It Possible and How Does It Work?

Sir, can we avail the leaves with a combination of CL and SL? For example, one employee went to his hometown for two days on CL after being sick there and took two days of SL. Based on this example, can we avail the leave with a combination of CL and SL?

Dear Jitendra,

This all depends upon the Act under which you are entitled to have CL & SL leave. First, see under which of the Act you are entitled to avail these leaves and then go through CL & SL leave provision to examine whether you are entitled to avail both the leaves at a time or not. For instance, in Haryana, the workmen who are entitled to avail CL under the Punjab Industrial Establishment (N&F Holidays and C&S Leaves) Act, 1965, as applicable to the state of Haryana, are not allowed by the Rules [Rule 5(3)] of this Act to combine these leaves with any kind of leave except with the express permission of the employer. If none of the Acts is applicable, then we are to adhere to the company rules on the grant of these leaves.

My name is Megha, and I am from Kotdwara. I have a query regarding the leave policy. Is it possible, according to the Factory Act, to combine CL with SL? If yes, please explain under what conditions this combination is permissible. Until now, I have been under the impression that combining CL and SL is not allowed. Kindly provide a brief explanation.

Megha

Nothing much to say as it is subject to the company's leave policy, which varies from company to company and industry to industry. It is better if you check your company's leave policy to see if it is allowed there or not.

In case of CL and SL, is it compulsory to preserve at least one CL and SL for the last month (Dec)?
