Earned Leaves - Contract Employee

One of our employee is joined on 02/2/2011 on contract basis. For some reasons his employment was not confirmed and he continued to be on contract till 01/10/2013. As per the contract agreement he will be given 1 sick and 1 casual leave, he is not eligible for Earned Leaves. on 1st October, 2013 his employment was confirmed and he was made permanent. What will be the effective date for him to get the eligibility for earned leaves.

First, it is surprising that the employee employed on a contractual basis, has been kept under probation for more than 2 1/2 years.What does your leave policy say ? if you do not have any leave policy, you need to follow the A.P Shops and Establishments Act .Please go through it.

Hi, Mostly contract basis appointment no Previlege Leave (Earned Leave). Once confirmed the employment, he will be eligible for Earned Leave. Don't argument to any organization.

Hi,
I am in agreement with Mr Sai Kumar. Please go through the relevant provisions of the AP Shops and Commercial Establishment Act or Factories Act whichever is relevant in your case and apply the same. Further, the term Privillege leave is a misnomer and a British legacy and stands replaced in industry by the term Leave with Wages/EL.

Apart from what Mr. Saikumar has advised please let the forum know, what was the term of the contract, and as per your query the employment was not confirmed till 1/10/2013, which means you have confirmed the employment on 1/10/2013 as permanent employee, so the employment is stated to be from the expiry of the contract till the confirmation, accordingly calculate the PL.
For example if the employee has joined on 2/2/2011 and say his/her contract was for 1 year, it would expire on 1/2/2012 so the applicability of the Earned leave will be w.e.f. 2/2/2012. He/She will avail after the confirmation i.e. on 1/10/2013 but the applicability will be from the expiry of the contract since the contract was not renewed. Hope your query must have resolved.
