Curious About Karnataka's 2012-2013 Leave Rules? Let's Discuss Eligibility and Carry Forward Options

Types of Leave and Eligibility in Karnataka for A.Y. 2012-2013

Can someone please tell me the types of leave and the number of days that employees are eligible to avail in the State of Karnataka for A.Y. 2012-2013? I would also like to know about the types of leave that can be carried forward/encashed or that lapse if not availed.

Regards.

a. An employee will be eligible for Earned Leave only if the employee has worked for at least 240 days in the calendar year. In the case of a new employee who has joined after 1st January of the said calendar year, they must have worked for at least 2/3 of the remaining calendar year.

b. While availing Earned Leave, intervening weekly offs and paid holidays are excluded.

Maternity Leave:

a. Every female employee shall be entitled to Maternity Leave for a period not exceeding 12 weeks (6 weeks before delivery and 6 weeks after delivery) after she has worked for a period of not less than 80 days in the 12 months immediately preceding the date of her expected delivery.

b. All the holidays occurring during the leave shall be counted for the purpose of computation of 12 weeks.

c. Female employees covered under the provisions of the ESI Act will be eligible for maternity benefits/leave as per the provisions of the ESI Act.

Here it says PL shall lapse each year. As per my knowledge, PL cannot be lapsed for 3 years. We may request employees to use it, or we may encash it.
