Hello Friends, 4 months ago, I joined a company as an HR executive. In my appointment letter, it is mentioned that I am eligible for 12 paid leaves. However, as per my company policy, fresher candidates are only eligible for 8 paid leaves, and I am also a fresher. On my pay slip, only 8 paid leaves are mentioned.
I have not yet discussed this discrepancy of 8 versus 12 paid leaves with my senior because I believe she will adhere to the 8 paid leaves policy only. She may possibly alter the terms related to paid leaves in my appointment letter, but I believe that the terms in the appointment letter cannot be changed once it is issued. Changes are typically made during appraisals when the salary is revised, and a new appointment letter is issued.
At this point, I am unsure whether I am eligible for 8 paid leaves or 12.

Dear Anju, Mistakes can happen even in appointment letter. If there is rule that freshers are eligible for only 8 leaves then you will also fall under the same cadre.

I feel you should clarify this matter with your HR senior once, not by claiming 4 more leaves but by bringing the discrepancy to their notice. If it's a mistake, care will be taken in the future to avoid such errors. If it's correct, then you will get four more leaves. So go ahead...

Leave Policy Clarification
The rule of 12 days of leave will apply after the completion of one year. In general, a fresher (who has not completed 1 year) will be eligible for no leave. So, I assume the dice is in your favor by giving you 8 leaves when you have not finished the year of work.
