In accordance with the Factories Act, 1948, which is applicable in Gurgaon, Haryana (India), the minimum leave policy is as follows:
1. Casual Leave (CL): There is no statutory provision for Casual Leave (CL) in the Factories Act, 1948. However, it varies from company to company based on their internal policies. Generally, it is around 7 days a year.
2. Earned Leave (EL) / Privilege Leave (PL): As per Section 79 of the Factories Act, 1948, every worker who has worked for a period of 240 days or more in a factory during a calendar year is entitled to one day's leave with wages for every 20 days of work performed by him during the previous year. This is subject to a maximum of 15 days.
- Note: The leave entitlement is to be calculated in the proportion of the number of days worked.
3. Sick Leave (SL): The Factories Act, 1948 does not specifically provide for Sick Leave. However, this is usually covered under the Employees' State Insurance Act, 1948 (ESIC). Under ESIC, treatment for sickness is provided for a period of 91 days in any two consecutive benefit periods. If the sickness continues, the benefit can be extended up to two years.
Remember, these are minimum requirements set by the law. Companies may choose to provide more generous leave policies.
Steps to follow:
1. ✅ Check your company's leave policy: Ensure that your company's leave policy at least meets the minimum requirements set by the Factories Act, 1948.
2. ✅ Apply for leave: Apply for leave according to your company's established procedures.
3. ✅ Use your leave wisely: Plan your leave in advance to avoid any inconvenience at work.
4. ✅ Understand your rights: If you believe your leave rights are being violated, consult with a labor law expert or your local labor department.
I hope this helps! Please feel free to ask if you have more questions.
