Exploring Types of Leaves and Leave Policy Considerations in Organizations

Hi All,

I am framing the leave policy for my company. I am interested in knowing the kinds of leaves that can be included. To name a few, the ones I know are PL, CL, SL. But how many of each - PLs, CLs, SLs? Are there any laws or rules for the number of leaves available?

Thanks and Regards,

Dear Prerna,

As you are already aware of the types of leaves, what is important is to break up these leaves. Many organizations follow the pattern of availing leave in quantum biannually, such as:

Annual Leaves
- PL 20
- CL 10
- SL 8

For the period Apr to Sep & for the period Oct to March:
PL 10 PL 10
CL 5 CL 5
SL 4 SL 4

At the end of each month, the leave balance is adjusted depending on how many leaves have been availed by an individual. Thus, a new opening balance is updated at the beginning of each month. At the end of the year, none of the leaves are lapsed. Each is carried forward. The balance of casual leave can be added to sick leave.

Apart from these leaves, there are public holidays, maternity leave, paternity leave, and special leave (marriage). The same is subject to changes depending on the organizations.
