Q 1 : How many leaves should be applicable in a company?
Numbers of leaves entitlement in a company depends upon state you are in. Every state has different leave entitlement and leave policies which should be seen before you define leave policy of your company. Leave policy of your company can not be less than mentioned in your State’s shop and establishment act.
You can refer below link to download some relevant attachments which describe leave entitlement in various states.

Q 2: Whether an employer is bound to grant sick leave to an employee if employee submits medical certificate?
Technically speaking an employer is not bound to accept any sick leave even if it is accompanied with medical certificate in case employer is not satisfied with the certificate submitted. There is no act on this issue.
But normally when an employee submits medical certificate from a competent medical practitioner then employer should accept it otherwise it will be considered as illogical.
Q 3: Leave is right of an employee?
Leave is not right of an employee. An employee is given casual, sick and privilege leave for some purpose.
Casual leave is provided to an employee to take care of urgent and unseen matters like Parents teacher meeting called by kid’s school in short notice.
Sick leave is provided in case employee gets sick.
Privilege leaves are provided for planned long leaves for the purpose of travel, vacation etc.
Employee need to apply for each leave and take approval except in cases where approval could not be taken in advance. Employer can refuse the leave application, if not satisfied with the reason of leave. There is no set rule for which leave to be approved and not approved. It depends from reason to reason. Eg. If an employee ask for leave to watch cricket match, it can be refused.
Q 4: Mass casual leave applied by group of employees. What do an employer should do?
If the reason of mass casual leave by many employees is to hamper work intentionally, demonstrating against the employer etc then employer has all the rights to refuse such leaves and further if required taking disciplinary action.
Q 5: Do an employer can ask medical certificate for one day sick leave?
No, an employer should not ask for medical certificate for one day sick leave. In one of the case Supreme
Court has mentioned that an employee will not necessary go to see a doctor for treatment if illness is only for one day.
That is the reason most of the companies ask for medical certificate, if employee is on sick leave for 3 or more days.
Q 6: Holidays and weekly off to be included or excluded while calculating number of leaves when holidays falls in between leaves?
It is one of the questions which confuse many HR professional. Technically speaking, all leaves with pay are excluding weekly off and holidays which means even if an employee is on leave for whole month (30 days) which includes 4 weekly off and 1 holiday then employee should be considered on leave for 25 days only.
Similarly, if an employee take leave from Saturday to Monday where Sunday is weekly off then Sunday should not be counted as leave. Hence only 2 leaves should b counted.
Q 7: What is the concept for giving compensatory off on national holiday, holiday and weekly off?
Compensatory Off in case of National Holiday or Holiday : Compensatory off should be given within 90 days of national holiday or holiday for which employee has worked along with one day average daily wage
OR
Employee can choose for double rate of average daily wage.
This is as per Punjab Industrial Establishments (National and Festival Holidays and Casual and Sick Leave) Act 1965 which is extended to Delhi also.
Compensatory off in case of weekly off: Employee should be given weekly off 3 days before or after weekly off on which he worked so that worker should not work for more than 10 days consecutively without a weekly off.
Q 8: Please explain concept of Encashment of leave?
Under Factory Act there is no mention of leave encashment while in service even with consent of Management. An employee can take leave encashment while quitting services, superannuation, discharge, dismissal or death. Leave encashment should be as per average daily wage of employee. There are some companies which pay leave encashment on basic and DA, which is not correct.
Q 9: Can employee take leave during notice period?
Yes, employee has right to take leave during notice period. In one of the case, Ghanshyam Vs Delhi Metro Rail Corporate, 2007, Delhi High court has confirmed the same.
Q 10: Can Leaves be clubbed together?
As per Delhi Industrial Establishments (National and Festival Holidays and Casual and Sick Leave) Rule 1973, Casual leave cannot be clubbed with any other leave.
That is the reason most of the companies do not club Casual leave with any other leave but Sick Leave and Privilege leave can be clubbed together.

Below is the draft which should be part of company leave policy. You can make changes are per your requirement.

ABSTRACT FROM DELHI SHOP AND ESTABLISHMENT ACT FOR LEAVE
Sub-section (16)—”Leave”
The expressions ‘leave means leave of absence, that is to say, the permission obtained by an employee from his employer relieving him from the duty of attending the work with or without pay. The dictionary meaning of the word ‘leave’ being permission, unless such permission is given or leave sought is granted, it cannot be said that the person seeking leave can absent himself from duty in an unauthorised manner; Industrial Tribunal v. Rabindra Nath Sen, 1963 I LLJ 582.
22. Leave.—(1) Every person employed in an establishment shall be entitled—
(a) after every twelve months’ continuous employment, to privilege leave for a total period of not less than fifteen days;

Provided further that a watchman or caretaker who has completed a period of twelve months in continuous employment and to whom the provisions of sections 8, 10, 11, 13 and 17 do not apply by virtue of an exemption granted under section 4, shall be entitled to not less than thirty days’ privilege leave.
(1A) (i) Privilege leave to which an employee is entitled under clause (a) of sub-section (1) or under any such law, contract, custom or usage, award, settlement or agreement as is referred to in section 3, or any part of such leave, if not availed of by such employee, shall be added to the privilege leave in respect of any succeeding period to which he is so entitled to, however, the total period of such privilege leave which may be accumulated by such employee shall not at any one time exceed three times the period of privilege leave to which he is entitled after every twelve months’ employment under that clause or under such law, contract, custom or usage, award, settlement or agreement.
(ii) Leave admissible under clause (b) of sub-section (1) shall not be accumulated.
(2) If an employee entitled to leave under clause (a) of sub-section (1) of this section is discharged by his employer before he had been allowed the leave, or if, having applied for and having been refused the leave, he quits his employment before he has been allowed the leave, the employer shall pay him full wage for the period of leave due to him.
23. Wages during Leave.—Every employee shall be paid for the period of his leave at a rate equivalent to the daily average of his wages for the days on which he actually worked during the preceding three months, exclusive of any earnings in respect of overtime but inclusive of dearness allowance.

wages is as per payment of wages act and payment of wages act is applicable to employees getting less than Rs 18000/- per month (as per recent amendment). so...for employees earning more than Rs 18,000 then double wages need not be paid.

Dear Sir,
In the above you have mentioned that employee can take leave during notice period, but i have heard that than his notice period would be extended to the no. of days taken as leave.
Please correct me if i am wrong.
Regards,
Sarita Pareek
Dear Sarita, Yes, employee has all rights to take leaves. But employee also need to take care that employee should not take un necessary leaves.
Dear Sir,
I am working in an IT company in Pune, in our company we are given only 21 PL & no other leave & at the end of the financial year it is not carry forward. Is it ok?
Regards,
Sarita
Dear Sarita,
As per Maharastra Shop and Establishment Act, 21 PL is ok. As far as carry forward clause is concerned, we need to refer Maharstra Shop and Establishment Act.
You must be having copy of same. Please provide the same.
Again, request you to post your queries on our HR Forum. www.hrsuccesstalk.com/forum.
You can attach act there and ask for answers.
Dear Sir,
As per your article leave encashment should be on average daily basis of employee, but what about if any employee takes more leave the deduction will be on basic or average daily wages?
Sorry again I am asking my queries here but i have tried to post there but found some difficulty. So please reply me here.
Dear Sir,
Waiting for your reply.
Dear Sarita, If an employee takes leave without pay meaning employee's leave are over and employee has taken leave then leave deduction should be on per day gross salary.
Thanks Sir, for your reply.
You are welcome Sarita.
Dear Sir,
Is there any rule from the government that the company has to encash the remaining leaves at the time when the empolyee is leaving ?
Can a company have no encashment policy?
Please reply.
Dear Sarita,
It depends upon state shop and establishment act. In some state it is mandatory and some not.
You can search HR SUCCESS TALK forum to download spreadsheet which has all states' leave act related information.
Dear Sarita madam,
As per my knowledge, You are right. The employer can refuse granting leave if he is not satisfied with the reason specially in case of Notice period.
Hi,
I've been taught from the first day of my handling leaves of employees that if anybody takes leave and holday comes in between then it would be counted as leave and not holiday. say for eg., "A" takes leaves on saturday and doesnt come on monday as well then his total leaves would be 03 and not two.but if "A" comes on saturday and not only monday then his total leaves would be 01.
Please help me clarify this once and for all.
Please refer to Question 6 of above blog post. It is self explanatory and answers your question
Dear Sarita,
Please share your query
thnk u :)
You are welcome Karthika
hey... hi...
I do have a query regarding leaves again.... Is it wrong to approve PL(EL) to an employee for 1 or 2 days leave even if that employee has CL balance in his account. Actly i was strictly instructed not to give advance CLs and so ended up approving PLs :(
Plz advice
Hey...
I do have anothr query but nt related to leaves. while calculating the number of days an employee has given notice period should the day on which he resigned be also included or it bcums effective frm the next day frm d date of resignation???
Dear Karthik,
Ideally it should be effective from the day when employee has resigned.
But many a times employee resigns in evening. In this case, it is ill logical to consider that day as DOR for purpose of notice period calculation.
You can better frame a policy on same and circulate the same.
Thank you :)
Mr. Negi,
Kindly let me knw abt ma earlier query too .
Dear Karthika,
There is no as such law that when an employee can give PL or CL. Law only talks about total number of leaves in an year.
It depends upon company policy. There are many companies which restrict an employee to avail PL if number of leaves are less than 3. In that case employee is bound to take CL and if all the CLs are exhausted and employee takes 1 day leave then it becomes leave without pay
thnk u :)
Hey, again wid a new query ....
derz an employee who met wid an accident while cumng to his usual shift n gt his intestine damaged n so was under treatment for nearli a year nw. ma query is- so shud i be adding the PL amnt to his account every month? is he eligible?
Hi Mr. Negi,
I wanted to clarify a thing again.... We actly pay one day extra salary if an employee works on 26th jan, 15th august n 2nd oct..... so, if an employee does double shift i.e., works 5 to 8 hours extra from the normal shift of 9 hrs ( in any other day we would give him a comp off for dis extra hrs wrked) on 26th Jan, is he eligible for a comp off apart frm the extra salary dat hez gonna get ??????
plz lemme knw asap.... dis is urrrrgent
Mr. Negi,
Kindly reply to my queries asap.... Also wanted to knw whethr comp offs r allowd during notice period?
Dear Karthika,
Yes, employee should be eligible for PL.
Yes, you are correct
Dear Karthika,
Yes. Sure. if you are asking an employee to work extra during notice period then why not to give him comp off for this.
Also request you to post your queries on our HR Forum
Hi,
Thank you :.
hi....
After how many days of continuous work(minimum) is an employee eligible for a weekly off ?
Dear Karthik,
A employee should be given a day off after 48 hours of work in a week or you can say one weekoff after six days minimum
Dear Sir,
I have this query...We provide 21 days of PLs on pro rata basis.So if any employee asks for a leave in the first month of the year for more than 3 days is he eligible to get those leaves as a PL? Because if we calculate it with the no.of months...leave per month comes to only 1.75..please clear this silly query of mine...
Dear Aditi,
As you give PL on pro rata basis hence an employee is eligible for 1.75 leaves in first month hence rest will be without pay.
I'm glad to have visited your blog and good to know you! I find it interesting and informative.

Are full time doctors working in not for profit organisation entitled for leaves. If so how many?
Hi..
How many leaves a professional doctor working for a not for profit organisation is entitled.
Hi
how many leaves a professional doctor working for not for profit organisation is entitled.
Dear Govind ,
Jus a silly question to clarify my doubt ... If i take a SL before my week off will that week off be counted as SL similarly if a SL before or after my PL will the PL be converted to SL
Dear Jimmy,
If week off is in between SLs you have taken then Week off should also be considered as SL.
SL can be clubbed with PL
Dear Friend,
Leave entitled is as per state and not as per profession. Hence request you to let us know which states you belongs to?
Is leave a request or information ?
eg;
Please be informed that I will be on leave from date so and so reason being xyz.
or
Please approve my leave from date so and so reason being xyz.
Which one is as per corporate policies and why ?
Dear Vinesh,
Leave should be applied in advance in case of EL/PL.
In case of CL, one day or same day information will also work.
In case of SL, approval is not required.
Hi Govind,
My query is :
If in case we resign at a IT company and not in a position to serve notice period and if left with around 30 CEL's, are we going to get paid for those CEL's in the final settlement?
Respected Mem,
many times our employee take leave for one hour and 3 hours for the day this type of regular once in a week so then pl give me any suggestion on this matter.
Dear Friend,
Adjustment of leaves either CL or EL against notice period should be as per company policy.
Also encashment of EL depends upon company policy. In some states EL encashment is mandatory.
Dear Gaurav,
It depends upon company policy.
In case of one hour leave, you can treat it as Short leave. In case three hours leave it should be treated as half day.
You need to draft a company leave policy.
Best holiday destination in India is Goa. its amazing to see this post for more helpful this which u have post here.
Sir,
I work in food manufacturing company (proprietorship) at Gujarat. Please note we have around 11 days of public holidays (paid during the year)and these exclude 3 national holidays. What i would like to know is, whether these 11 days are deductible from the number of days of earned leave?
Suppose :
If my earned leave for year 2013 is 13days, will 11 days of public holiday be deducted and am i eligible to get pay for just 2 days as leave salary?
Dear Friend,
Earned leave and holiday are different.
Hence both should be given separately
I was with software company but left the company without notice.as salary was not good to survive...manager treat me like slave ....lead was not helping me in work as i was new so not sure how to work functionaly....late night work.....sat sunday come to ofc...so i left the company in 2 months....now they are sending me reg letter via lawyer to pay two month salry.....what to do ...please help....

If you have to give 2 months notice to company then you should have given the notice period to company before leaving.
Hi I work in pune BPO company and I have worked on all the national holiday for which double wage of that day is given no comp off is given. ... Is this correct??
Dear Sir,
Thanks for this informative blog.
Would like to know if we can compensate the Restricted Public Holidays like Republic day or Independence day falling on a weekend with any other Public Holiday.
I tried finding out information online, but there is no such information available. As I would also like to make a note of the same in my office records.
Thanks and regards,
Sonila
Thanks for sharing information ..
always keep updated.....
Luxury Holiday in India.
Can you give me the reference for Question no. 6 of your blog. Kindly mail me the reference on my email id ananta20@gmail.com
Dear Friend,
In case of BPO working for clients outside India has different list of holidays. This is applicable as per this specific industry. I am not too sure. I think in such case you are not eligible for double pay and compensatory off if you work on national holidays and working for a BPO working for foreign clients.
Dear Sonila,
As per law a company should be closed on national holiday. In case national holiday is falling over a weekend and company is already closed then there is no compulsion for company to give another day as off.
This is company's wish if they wants to do it.
Dear Ananta,
Please refer Shop and Establishment Act of your state.
Also you should go to HR SUCCESS TALK Forum i.e. www.hrsuccesstalk.com/forum and search for state wise leave and download the file
Hi Sir
I work with one of the top Indian IT giant and recently I came to know that we have a rule that we can take 6 annual medical leaves only after exhausting our paid leaves , means If i get sick and I have 3 paid leaves and 6 medical leaves in balance and I want 6 medical leaves then in that case first I have to take 3 paid leaves and then 3 medical leaves . I wanted to know is this the correct company policy .
WHICH TYPE OF LEAVE LAPSES AND NOT CARRIED FORWARD??

Hello Sir,
In the start of new year 2015, I applied for 7 Annual leaves which also got approved by my manager.
However, due to personal reasons, I had to resign from my company which has 2 months notice period.
Now, my manager has himself un-approved my leaves without discussing with me saying that it is against HR policy to take leave during notice period.
I have given the company 2 options to which my manager doesnt agree:
- Proposed them Loss of Pay for the leaves exceeding monthly entitlement.
- Working extra days over & above 2 months to cover the number of leaves taken.
Both the above is not agreeable to my manager & the HR wants me to sort it out with the manager.
What can I possibly do to escape such a situation?
I really want to take these leaves & have made my bookings accordingly.
Hi, is there a difference between leave policy for 5 days a week working and 6 days a week working? If it 5 days a week can Saturdays be considered for Casual Leave / Sick Leave.
Hi Sir,
I have joined new start up company in bangalore this monday(16/2). I found the shift timings very weird here. Morning shift starts from 7AM till 4PM, noon shift 2PM till 11PM and night shift from 10.30PM till 7.30AM.
Since this is a start up , management would be looking for cost cutting.
We wont get cab facilities for morning shift. Please let us know if there is any such rule about shift timings so that company has to pay the shift allowances . Here i believe these kind of shift timings are only to avoid shift allowances.
Regards,
Yogesh

Nice blog. I would like to share something that Travelomiles provide online guidance for popular tourist spots in India tourism. For more details visit http://www.travelomiles.com/
Well explained. Our company has changed its HR policy in which one cannot take any leave during the probation period( which is of 6months). Also if an employee is taking a leave though it is informed well in advance then for a day's leave, his 2 days salary will be deducted. Also for those who are confirmed but takes more than 1.5 days leave in a month (though it is informed & approved) still his salary will be deducted. example: If I take a days leave then again 2 days salary will be deducted. Please help to let us know whether the rule to cut 2 days salary is right or not?
Hello Folks,
I have a question regarding the leave. I have two leaves in the month of march, and i took the two leaves on march 30 and 31st. According to our policy if two or more leaves we have that should be encasement with Salary & DA. But i applied my leaves on month end of march, but my manager approved the leave in April Month. The HR people add the leave encasement amount on June month for that two days of March and deduct my leaves on the month of July(Fresh Leaves added to HR Portal). Is this right way done by the HR? Please suggest me...i am arguing that Previous year leaves should be adjusted in Previous year not in the Assessment Year, This is right or not, how can i responsible for manager approval on the next months i.e. April. Financial Year closing in march, so should be adjusted on march as per the Factories Act.
hi ,
i have a question, i am working as HR in a newly build foodfactory.
is workers are eligible for leave in the first year of service. please let me know.
thanks.
Dear Neeraj,
Company can not stop someone from taking a sick leave. In your case company is not stopping but asking you to utilize your PL before sick leave. Ideally, it should not be like that but there is no law as such against it.
Dear Mayur,
This is defined in shop and establishment act. Mostly CL and SL gets lapsed and PL is carried forward
Dear Manosh,
It is applicable to IT firms too.
Dear Ramaprabhu,
This is as per company policy
Dear Sahiba,

I had a question related to working hours in a week has you mentioned 48 hours a week now I needed clarification is this includes break of 1 hour or excludes to give and example 48+6=54 hours a week.so a employee has to work 54 hours completely or is that 42+6=48hours, I have seen in BPO it is 45 hours of work including break with two week off,now I want to know if a company is working for 6days so how many total hours will be there in a week to work including break please inform.and I also came across now the leave has been changed to 6week off a month. As it was earlier mentioned 4 week off a month now it is 6 needed clarification.

Sir,
How is the daily wage to be calculated for deduction of wages for Leave without Pay. Suppose their are 22 working days in a month excluding 4 Saturdays and 4 Sundays and one holiday. A person takes 2 Leaves without Pay. Is the deduction per day monthly pay / 31 or divided by 22?
I am located in Pune working for US client for BPO process. We receive 12 US client offs because our process do not work on these days. Eventually in Pune we cannot work on client offs due to nature of our work, being B2B process. We have fixed Saturday Sunday offs.
Question 1) What will I be marked on client defined holiday ? Earned leave to be deducted from my leave balance bucket or client holiday ?
2) If EL then does it not violate my fundamental right to leave, as per my choice, because I am forced to take 12 leaves, not as per my wish dates, but as per client off dates.
