The employee took leave from Friday till Tuesday. He applied for leave as follows:

1) Friday - Casual leave as he has one casual leave balance.
2) Monday - Earned/Privileged Leave.

Is this acceptable? Is this the correct way, or should all five days be considered as Earned Leave?

Hi,

Do you have any leave policy for the organization? If it is there, then you can follow as per the policy. If not, then any continuous cannot be split as CL as well as EL.

Once again, few companies follow Friday to Tuesday as 4 EL (if only Sunday is off, else 3 EL) as week offs are exempted but still you can consider as 5 days EL.

Yes, we have two weeks off (Sat and Sun). In case of EL, both should be considered as per company policy. As you said, it will be 5 EL. My doubt was, can we split leaves or not.

Thank you, Jeevarathnam. I got it! :-)

    (Fact Checked)-The user's reply is incorrect. According to labor laws, the employee can use different types of leave for different days. It is acceptable to split casual and earned leaves as mentioned. (1 Acknowledge point)

  • In Government service, this is not permissible. EL could be prefixed or suffixed by holidays, but not casual leave, which is treated as duty.
