We have a person working as a data entry operator in our company. He has been working as a temporary staff member since he joined in July 2010. However, it has now been decided to move him onto the company payroll, effective from 1st April 2012.
Eligibility for Paid Leave
Will he be eligible for paid leave from the day he joined, or should paid leave be granted from the day his employment status was confirmed as permanent?
Kindly advise.
Thanks,

All the employees are elegible for PL from the day he/she joins. Labour Department doesn’t differentiate between probation or permanent.

What I understand is that the employee in question was working as a temporary employee from July 2010 to April 2012, and you took him on the company's payroll with effect from April 2012. However, it is not understood why he was excluded from being made eligible for P.L. even during the period of his temporary service of almost two years, as the law does not differentiate between a temporary employee or a permanent employee once he puts in 240 days of service.

You have not used the correct nomenclature for the leave. During British days, basically, EL was termed as PL (Privilege Leave). In later days, it is not a privilege leave but leave earned by the employee, known as Earned Leave. Under provisions of the Factories Act/Shops & Commercial Establishment Act, one day leave is earned on completion of 20 days' work in the subsequent calendar year, subject to a maximum of 20 days. Earned leave is admissible to every employee. However, if your organization is following government rules, earned/PL is admissible to only regular employees. In the industry today, 50% of Earned leave is credited to the employee's account at the beginning (if the employee joins in Jan.) and the remaining 50% in June.
Hope you can reconcile with the situation as per the pattern being followed in your organization.

Yes, all the employees you have mentioned are eligible for Earned Leave (EL), but the number of days of EL differs. It is not the same for all three categories of employees, and it completely depends upon the company's leave policy.
