Hi,

It is company-specific. For genuine reasons, some companies sanction long leave based on the service history of the employee. In such cases, 40 leaves can be adjusted against the balance of earned leave (EL) at credit, and the remaining leave can be taken without pay in case of no available leave.

There is a practice known as 'Advanced Leave' that means when the employee has availed all leave to the credit and is still in need of a few more days of leave, then as a welfare measure looking to the genuineness of the matter, some organizations give a credit of EL (credit is generally only for six months' service and at a maximum of one year service) to help the employee tide over the crisis. In this process, the employee gets salary for the advance credit period, and on the employee resuming duty, the EL earned gets adjusted against such excess leave credited.

Dear Member,

In general, earned leaves are granted to employees/workers under the Factories Act, 1948 or the applicable S&E Act. If you are from Gurgaon, you will be governed by the Punjab Shops & Commercial Establishments Act, 1958 as applicable to the state of Haryana. According to both Acts, an employee is not allowed to accumulate more than 30 earned leaves (EL) in this case as the limit of accumulation of EL is 30 in both scenarios. If your establishment has any agreement or leave policy allowing the accumulation of leaves up to 40, then the employee can take all forty EL. As previously mentioned, you may grant an additional five advanced EL, totaling 45 days of leave.

Submitted, please.

In most cases, an employee cannot take more leave days than the balance available in their leave account. If an employee has 40 earned leave (EL) days, they typically cannot take 45 days of leave. However, there might be some exceptions or specific circumstances depending on your organization's policies, employment laws, and the terms of the employment contract.

To provide accurate information, I would recommend referring to your organization's official leave policy, employment contract, or consulting with your HR department. In many cases, leave policies outline the maximum consecutive days an employee can take off and any special conditions or approvals required for extended leave periods.
