Leave Policy and Total Leave grant in case of permanent work from home

Hi All,

We are planning to review our Leave Policy in terms of a Permanent Work from Home environment. Can anyone help me with the changes in the leave policy, including the total leaves granted to employees in 1 year, where permanent work from home is already granted.

Dear Pankaj Tiwari,

The mode of working, i.e., Work from Home (WFH) or the Work from Office (WFO), has no bearing on the leave eligibility of an employee. Both are independent.

Whatever the mode of work may be, the employees are eligible to get the leave as per the provisions of the Shops and Establishment Act of your state. You can give more days of leave than the prescribed act but not less.

Probably your company is under the impression that since the employees work from home, they enjoy relaxation anyway. Therefore, let us reduce their privilege by a few days of leave. However, please be clear that there cannot be a trade-off between leave eligibility and the mode of working.

Thanks,

Dinesh Divekar
