If an employee has 40 EL can he take 45 days leave?? What does the rule say?

Hi

It is Company specific. For genuine reasons some Company's sanction long leave based on service history of the employee. In such cases 40 leaves can be adjusted against balance EL at credit and remaining leave without pay incase of no leave.

There is a practice known as 'Advanced Leave' that means when the employee has availed all leave to the credit and is still in need of a few more days of leave, then as a welfare measure looking to the genuineness of the matter, some organisation give a credit of EL (credit is generally only for six months' service and at a max. of one year service) to help the employee tide over the crisis. In this process, the employee gets salary for the advance credit period and on the employee resuming duty the EL earned gets adjusted against such excess leave credited.

Dear Member,
In general, earned leaves are being granted to the employees/workers either under Factories Act, 1948 or applicable S&E Act. If you are from Gurgaon itself then in that case you will be governed by Punjab Shops & Commercial Establishments Act, 1958 as applicable to the state of Haryana. Strictly according to both the Acts employee is not in a position to have more than 30 EL in this case as the limit of accumulation of EL is 30 in both the cases. If your establishment have any agreement to this effect to have accumulation of leaves of you have leave policy to this effect to accumulate leaves up to 40 then in that case this employee can take all the forty EL from you. As already pointed out you may grant five more advance EL to grant 45 days’ leaves.
Submitted plz.

In most cases, an employee cannot take more leave days than the balance available in their leave account. If an employee has 40 earned leave (EL) days, they typically cannot take 45 days of leave. However, there might be some exceptions or specific circumstances depending on your organization's policies, employment laws, and the terms of the employment contract.

To provide accurate information, I would recommend referring to your organization's official leave policy, employment contract, or consulting with your HR department. In many cases, leave policies outline the maximum consecutive days an employee can take off and any special conditions or approvals required for extended leave periods.
