I am setting up the leave policy for a startup organization (an event management firm) as per the following basic guidelines:
Privilege Leave: 1.5 per month (Total 18 days in a year) credited at the start of calendar year. Employee is entitled to PL on completion of probation.This can be availed all at once by giving prior notice of at least 15 days to the management. 50% of PL could be carry forward in the next calendar year and the remaining leaves will lapse at year end. A maximum of 30 days can be accumulated as leave balance at any point of time.
Casual Leave: 0.5 days per month (Total 6 days in a year). New joinees can avail of CL from date of joining. No carry forward for CL as it will lapse at year end if not availed. CL will not be granted for less than 1/2 day and more than 2 days at a stretch. Intervening holidays will be counted as part of CL. Request for CL must be made and approved at least 3 days in advance. CL cannot be clubbed with privilege leave while taking leaves.
Sick Leave: 0.5 days per month (Total 6 days in a year). New joinees can avail of SL from date of joining. No carry forward for SL as it will lapse at year end if not availed. If an employee avails of SL for more than 3 days, a medical certificate should be submitted along with leave application within 2 days of joining. Any National & Festival holidays or weekly holidays prefixing or suffixing or falling in between the leave applied shall not be included. SL can be clubbed with CL for availing leaves. In case of serious long recovery illnesses, the employee may request for additional SL with pay, only when other types of leaves have been exhausted. Additional leave will be at the discretion of the management and cannot be assumed to be a right of the employee.
Please state if the above guidelines are in compliance with the Karnataka Shops and Commercial Establishments Act and other relevant labour laws. Please note the current employee strength is 11 including the proprietor and is based out of Bangalore.
I would value your suggestions regarding any possible amendments in the above policy. Please advise regarding the carryforward of PL as I have read so many different versions and each orgn. seems to differ.
Thanks in advance!!
Best,
Sylvia
