Dear friends,
I am working with a software company, and we are in the process of reframing our leave policy. Can you please let me know if there is a rule stating that casual leave cannot be combined with any other kind of leave?

Dear Deepika,
There is no provision stating that Casual Leave cannot be combined with Earned Leave. If an employee requires Casual Leave but does not have a sufficient balance of CLs, he/she can utilize Earned Leaves.
The policy regarding this matter is not uniform and varies from company to company based on the respective standing orders.

Deepika, you need to go through the Factories Act and, more importantly, understand the logic behind different types of leaves. The purpose of casual leave is to provide short (1-3 days) and immediate leave to employees. Hence, casual leaves cannot be:
1) Carried forward
2) Encashed
3) Added with any other type of leaves.
However, one can also take a half-day casual leave. Usually, companies give 12 days of casual leaves (where there is no distinction between casual or sick leave).
Earned Leaves or PL's serve a different purpose. PL's can be anything above 20 days (As per the Factories Act, companies are expected to provide one day of earned leave for every 20 days of work). Some companies also offer 30 days of PL. Employees can accumulate their PL's and even encash them.
I hope this information will help you.

Thank you, Sanjeev, for your valuable piece of information. I agree with your logic behind my question, but there is one query. I think that a software company will be covered under the Industrial Shops and Establishments Act, wherein any provision of not combining CL with any other leave is not mentioned.
Also, I am curious about whether leave provisions in the Shops and Establishments Act are just a suggestion as per the act or a mandatory compliance.
