Hi, I am Asha. I am working in a solar power company as an HR Executive. I have joined this company 1 month back. We manufacture solar water heaters, etc. The total strength of the company is 30.
Till date, they have not followed any leave policies. But they want me to frame leave policies for the company. I am not sure about rules applicable for casual leave and sick leave in Karnataka.
Kindly advise me on whether sick leave is compulsory. If yes, then how many leaves should be allowed, and how many casual leaves should be allowed as per the law. Also, which book should I refer to for related issues?
Please help me out on this issue as this is very urgent.
Thanks & regards,
