Dear Colleagues,
As per the above provisions, every person in any establishment is entitled for sick leave (also casual leave) for a period not exceeding 12 days in twelve months service.
The act does not specify any minimum days nor mandated specified number. It specifies only maximum number. If that be the case, whether the employer can consider leave for less than 12 days.. For Example whether CL or SL can be granted for (say )only 6 days in a year.
Whether the inspector can insist for 12 days compulsorily as minimum days? Also whether the establishments can on their own consider more number of days say 14 days if the wish, since the act specifies maximum days.
Are there any case laws on this?
Thanks in advance
Regards
R Kannan
