Hi, please help.
In my office, the present leave policy is like this:
Casual Leave: 6
- Employees will be entitled to 6 days of CL in a year
- 1 day for every 2 months, credited at the beginning of every two-month slab
- Minimum: 0.5 day / Maximum: 3 days
- CL can be combined with EL
Sick Leave: 6
- 6 days for the entire year
- Credited at the beginning of the year
Earned Leave: 12
- Earned from January to November of each year, @ 1 EL for every 20 days worked
- Minimum: 0.5 day / Maximum: 3 days
- EL can be combined with CL
*Note:*
- Request for leave of 3 days should be sent to managers at least 1 week in advance
- No leave can be carried forward into the next year
- Any leave combined with the Annual Leave will be at a loss of pay @ number of days x 2
- Leave will be applicable on a prorate basis for new joiners
I have a doubt that...
1) Whether sick leaves should be 'earned' similar to earned leaves? Is the only difference between EL and CL that sick leave is granted at the beginning of the year itself?
My managers are trying to bring changes that seem almost like the Casual Leave policy stated above.
If we do it, would it be legal?
Please help.
Sunil.
