I am working in an IT software company, and we have a policy to provide 1.5 leaves per month to every employee as CL & SL in total. However, I want to know when an employee becomes eligible to take CL/SL. For instance, if someone has joined on 1st March, can they take 2-3 SL after 10-15 days of joining? If so, according to which rule or law are they eligible to take leave?

Dear Ms. Anita Kanwar, The provision of leaves pertaining to the number of CL, SL, and EL is governed as per state regulations. Additionally, any employee joining the organization is entitled to CL and SL from the first day of joining the services.
CL and SL Usage
CL can be taken during the year-end as it stands lapsed if unused. SL can be taken as desired and is carried forward to the next calendar year.
EL Eligibility
Conversely, EL is allotted to the employee only after the completion of one year of continuous service (in the year an employee should not have worked less than 240 days), which is counted starting from the calendar year.

Dear Anita,
Please check with your HR about your leave policy for new joiners, as the leave policy varies from company to company. Generally, all companies provide 1 day of leave per month during probation. By your description, it also seems as if you work in a contractor's role for an IT company (please confirm if this is the case). In such a case, you will be entitled to 1.5 leaves straight away. Generally, in the case of sickness, companies allow taking leaves more than the entitlement and adjust them in subsequent months. However, it all depends on the policy of the company you are working with.
Feel free to reach out in case of further doubts.
