Dear Anonymous,
I can understand in today's dynamic industry companies are more focusing for cost optimization. Reducing Paid Leave is also one major part of that. But be it very clear you can't abolish Labour Laws under frame of improper Leave Policy (As your company doing to draft Rules at your own). Any internal policy, rule, standing order can't overcome (bypass) the labour laws. Policies and Standing orders are being framed to maintain some discipline and balance between employees rights and smooth functioning. It seems your rules prepared only to reduce costing. Though fellow members have explained there valuable suggestions on the topic. Pls find some more points which can be part of your Leave, Rest & Holiday policy. They will help to maintain some discipline and reduce unnecessary leave cost.
No Holiday will be allowed between continous Leave. The individual must be available either before or after the Holiday. Else the same will be counted as Leave/Absent.
Norms for taking Casual-Sick Leave:-
1 Maximum 2 Casual Leave can be availed in a single instance, beyond 02 regular CL, PL, if any, will be adjusted. If no PL in balance same will be deducted.
2 Maximum 3 Sick Leave can be availed in a single instance, after that Medical Certificate to be produced to the HOD. If medical leave is not balance, PL will be taken.
3 In a single instance, either Casual Leave or Sick Leave can be availed, beyond the limit PL, if any, will be adjusted. If PL not in balance, deduction will made from salary.
4 No W/Off-Holiday will be allowed between continous Leave. The individual must be available either before or after W/off-Holiday.
Else the same will be counted as Leave/Absent.
5 All leave should be first pre-approved by the Supervisor/Shift Incharge and must be finally approved by the HOD.
6 Repeatition of Leave around the Holidays & W/Off, is allowed only against prior approval, as per norms, from the HOD.

III WEEKLY OFF POLICY
Norms for W/off Policy:-
