Emergency Leave: How Many Days of LOP/LWP Can Management Grant?

Hi, Sir, we would like to know your opinion on LOP/LWP. How many days can management grant LOP/LWP to employees with intimation to me in some emergency situations?

Thanks.

Hi, it depends on the employer.

Leave Without Pay (LWP)

Basically, a leave without pay situation arises when there is no balance in the employee's leave account, or when an employee wants to take a long break for medical or genuine reasons, and management is willing to allow the employee to proceed on leave but doesn't want to pay a salary.

In general, the maximum period allowed can be in the range of 3 to 6 months.
