Joining Leave Dilemma: Can You Get Paid for Days Off Right After Starting?

Joining Leave Policy Inquiry

Does anyone know about the joining leave policy? If a person joins in the middle of the month and, after two days, needs to take a leave for shifting purposes for 3 days, is he or she eligible for the salary for those 4 days?

Please revert.

Yes, if the Joining Time & Relocation leave, etc., have been stated in the offer letter or promised during the personal interview. These are the kind of things that may or may not be a part of the written policy. Please refer the matter to your higher-ups or the Recruiting team rather than making a hasty decision on your own.

Many companies have well-laid-out policies on these matters, which include Relocation Expenses reimbursements of one car, household goods, one-way ticket for family members (similar to Transfer benefits), etc. Some modern companies are liberal enough to give Joining Bonus/Incentives.

By the way, you can also ask yourself whether it is fair if a person shifting from another location is given special paid leave for this purpose? All HR policies are, and should be, based on principles of fairness and benefit to employees.

Warm regards.
