What Can I Do If One Of The Employee From My Company Is Going For Leave For 40 To 45 Days ???

Hello Everyone,

I need your help. Please advise me on what I can do if one of the employees from my company is going on leave for around 40 to 45 days. He or she is getting married. I am concerned because 40 to 45 days is a long vacation.

Thank you.

Dear Trimantra,

There is nothing to do with this. If he is going to get married, then obviously you have to approve his leave. However, if he is asking for 40 to 45 days of leave, then deduct the leave as per your company's leave policy. First of all, check how many leaves are pending and then give Leave Without Pay (LWP).

If you have any policy or rule in practice to attend such an issue, continue it. If you don't have any, put the issue open before management with your course of action or suggestion, keeping in mind points like the quantum of work that will suffer when an employee goes on long leave, who will handle the responsibility of an employee going on leave, what will be the calculation/entitlement of paid leaves against the leave period, proper approval of leave application by the senior/HOD, communication of practices which you will follow to inform the employee, etc.

These steps would help you in settling the issue.

Thanks

Dear All,

I would like to point out some things:

1. Marriage is the main reason for taking 45 days off, which may hinder organizational growth. This indicates that he is not deeply committed to our company.
2. Clear all EL leaves and mark LOP for each day. In this situation, we need to consider the owner's mindset.
3. This will serve as a valuable lesson for other employees.
4. Ask him how it will affect his performance appraisal. By posing these questions, he is likely to reduce the number of days off.

Thank you.

Respected Seniors,

Can you please give me some innovative solutions because she is technically so brilliant, and she has been working here for the last 1.5 years?

Please provide more suggestions on what I should do as the management has instructed me to handle this case, and 40 to 45 days seems too long.

Please give me some innovative suggestions.

If management has left the issue open for you to resolve, you can follow steps to settle it down.

Discuss the seriousness and practical need of such a long leave with the employee, connecting it to her performance appraisal and commitment to work. Ask the employee to shorten the leave if possible. Additionally, request the employee to brief another employee taking charge about all tasks and responsibilities. Ensure the employee is available by phone in case of any emergencies or issues during her absence from the office.

If management supports you, consider seeking help from a senior to have a final conversation with the employee before her leave. The success of this process will depend on the counseling you provide to the employee and the support or consent you receive from management.

Approach this situation from both personal and professional perspectives; it will be beneficial for you. Handling this issue now will equip you with the skills to address similar challenges in the future within your organization.

Thank you.

Please provide more information about the size of the organization and how many days before and after her wedding day she is asking for leave. In every situation, it's a question of who wants whom, in addition to the applicable laws. We also do not know how far away from work she has to go for her wedding, etc. The more information you provide, the more precise the advice you will receive.

Look at this as an opportunity to make a statement in your company. What do you do in your company? Can the work be done remotely? Can you work an agreement where the employee does some work and at the same time take up the vacation? The truly revolutionary companies like Netflix do take a totally refreshing approach ([source: Netflix's Unlimited Employee Vacation Policy: Why It Works]). Bottomline - focus on delivery, not on working hours.

Ask her boss to respond, since her boss would have approved her leave. I am sure she would have given you a leave application. In case she has not yet, then ask her to get the leave application approved by the boss.

And in case her boss has no qualms about her going on leave, then why must HR bother, because it's the boss who is responsible for the delivery, and the onus lies on him to manage his subordinates.

Hi,

I had a similar situation where one of the employees wanted a 2-month leave for their marriage. We approved the leave, but she ended up having 30 days of leave without pay (LOP). Additionally, she transferred her responsibilities to another person within the same department.
