Dear Seniors, if an employee takes 1 SL on Saturday and 2 CLs on Monday and Tuesday, please confirm if the total leave count is 4 or 3 only. Also, kindly clarify whether to count the CLs in the prefix or suffix.
Hi dear, as per our company rules, we can consider it as a 4-day leave. If an employee does not work on either Saturday or Monday, we can also consider Sunday as leave.
It is not fair on the employer's part to cheat employees, and vice versa. SUNDAY is a GOVERNMENT HOLIDAY and cannot be considered as LOP. You may define your policies based on NEED just to maintain DISCIPLINARY STANDARDS by not allowing your employees to avail leave (continuous) without a valid reason and systematic job handover. If it's really needed, on emergency grounds and based on genuine reasons, you may allow your employees to take off along with Sunday without counting it as LOP.
1. CL can be combined only with Compensatory Off, Holidays, Restricted Holidays, or Off days.
2. CL cannot be combined with any other type of leave as mentioned above.
3. When CL is combined with holidays, off days, Compensatory Off, or Restricted Holidays, the total absence should not exceed 10 days. In such an occasion, the maximum CL that can be sanctioned is 6 days.
Sunday as a weekly paid off is available provided one works for the whole week. Paid weekly off has to be earned. Otherwise, an employee is not entitled to the paid weekly off. However, some companies allow employees to avail leave before and after the weekly off and do not count Sunday as leave; this is the policy of some companies.
Leave Policy Practices
Normally, most companies permit either the prefixing or suffixing of leave to a holiday but not both. The above is the current policy. You may make a policy decision or treat it as leave since the employee does not earn a paid weekly off.
If you consider a month as 26 days, we do not need to consider leave on Sunday if his weekly off is on Sunday. In my opinion, other than paid leave (wage with leave), if leave is applied, the prefix and suffix of weekly off should be treated as leave.
As per the Shops and Establishment Act and the Factories Act, no employee can combine Sick Leave and Casual Leave when going on leave. It should be either Sick Leave or Casual Leave. If it is Sick Leave, Sunday can be counted as an additional Sick Leave day. However, if it is Casual Leave, Sunday is not counted as a day of leave. If Privilege Leave (PL) is taken on a Sunday, it is counted as a leave day.

We are practicing that Sunday will be counted as leave when the leave type is CL. We will not count EL/PL as leave in this case.
