Hello All,
I work for a mid-size software firm as an HR and i have an issue with our existing leave policy. I our Co. Policy casual leave cannot be availed continuously for more then 2 days. Also I would like to quote feww points from the Policy:
Point no.1 : Casual leave cannot be availed for more than 2 working days in a week. In case you need to avail leave for more than 2 days in a week you need to apply for privilege leave. If you are not eligible for privilege leave then it would be a loss of pay.
Point no.2 : Casual leave cannot be applied for Friday and the following Monday. Privilege leave has to be applied in case you want to avail leave on Friday and the following Monday (2 days).
But I have issue where employees go on leave from Thursday till Tuesday of the following week (which is for total of 4 days, excluding 2 weekly offs) and then they break the leaves and apply for 2 days of casual leave (Thursday and Friday) and 2 days of privilege leave (Monday and Tuesday).
The point of argument is , they state Point no.1 and say they haven't applied more then 2 days of CL in a week and since there is a break in between in the form of Saturday and Sunday, their leave should not be considered as continuous.
But definitely anything above 2 days is considered as PL and they have to adhered to it.
If such incidents are allowed then surely it will set a wrong precedent for future. Hence pls let me know how do i go about this?

Divya
