Hi Umang,
I can provide you with some general guidance on leave policies for employees working from home (WFH). Keep in mind that specific policies may vary based on your organization's practices, local labor laws, and any employment contracts in place. It's advisable to consult with legal and HR professionals to ensure compliance.
Annual Leave (15 days):
Employees are entitled to a certain number of annual leave days per year. In your case, it's 15 days. This can be used for various purposes like vacation, personal time, or any other reason the employee needs to be away from work.
Sick Leave (7 days):
Provide a separate allocation of 7 days specifically for sick leave. This allows employees to take time off if they are unwell without impacting their annual leave balance.
Leave Approval Process:
Clearly outline the process for requesting leave, whether it's through a designated leave management system, email, or any other method. Ensure that requests are submitted in advance when possible.
Documentation:
Specify any documentation requirements for leave requests, such as a medical certificate for sick leave or any other relevant documents.
Accrual of Leave:
Clarify how leave accrues, whether it's on a monthly, quarterly, or yearly basis, and whether unused leave can be carried over to the next year.
Public Holidays:
Specify whether public holidays are considered as working days or non-working days for WFH employees. In some cases, employees may be allowed to take compensatory leave if they work on a public holiday.
Emergency Leave:
Consider including provisions for emergency leave for unforeseen circumstances. Clearly define what constitutes an emergency and the process for requesting emergency leave.
Communication Protocol:
Establish a clear communication protocol for employees on leave, ensuring that they inform their supervisors or HR in a timely manner and provide regular updates on their status, especially for sick leave.
Maternity/Paternity Leave:
If applicable, outline the maternity and paternity leave policies for employees working from home.
Ensure that your leave policy is communicated effectively to all employees, and make sure to remain flexible and considerate of individual circumstances. Additionally, consult with legal experts to ensure compliance with labor laws.
Thanks

Hi, the same leave applicable for employees who support from the office should be given to work-from-home employees as well.
With regard to leave entitlement, you need to follow the respective Act. If your office is covered under the Shops and Establishment Act, you need to follow leave rules as stipulated by the Shops and Establishment Act.
