Hello, I am working in an IT company, and we provide 12 casual leaves and 6 sick leaves in a year. However, I have a confusion. Suppose my ex-employee is unwell and will be on leave for 8 days, would those 8 days be counted as sick leave? In other words, would we be providing him with 6 sick leaves continuously or not? Please suggest. Thanks.

Sick leave is meant to compensate loss of pay due to sickness and we cannot say that you should not fall sick continuously. It is not given to an employee to enjoy a vacation for which they have privileged leave (PL) or to meet any casual event or emergency for which a single day (casual leave) would be sufficient. It is obvious that if you fix, say, 6 days of sick leave per annum, and someone who has a plan of leaving your organisation in a month or two takes the entire 6 days of leave in the first month itself producing a medical certificate which is readily available (in the market!), then you would be a loser. In order to avoid this, companies generally sanction SL also prorate only. But this is not correct with regard to sick leave. Certainly, if an employee who has availed the entire sick leave leaves, you can deduct the leaves in addition to what is arrived at by calculating it on prorate basis from the amount payable to the employee.
Now another important thing relating to leave is that employees of IT companies are covered by service conditions as per the State Shops and Commercial Establishments Act. Though it is a state Act and due to which the provisions will change from state to state, I don’t think that any state has 12 days CL and 6 days SL provision. To my knowledge, almost all Shops Act have provided for 12 days of CL, 12 days of SL and 12 days of PL.

When you have broken up your leaves into categories, the employee is required to select the appropriate category in their leave application. So if he is sick for 8 days, he will use up his sick leave days (6), and then the balance of 2 days will be without pay. If he has CL available, he can apply for CL. Check your state standing orders to see if any other restrictions apply.

He may have the following options:
1. He will take all CLs continuously.
2. 6 SLs and 2 CLs (if your organization allows).
3. Usually, SLs will be credited annually and won't lapse until he either retires or resigns, subject to a maximum limit. He may avail 8 SLs if he has sufficient leave credit.

I am working in a cooling tower manufacturing firm. So far, we were not generating MIS. Now we need to do that; therefore, kindly provide us with a sample format of MIS. Also, inform us about the important formulas of Excel for the same.

Dear All,
In the case of organizations falling within the purview of the Shops and Establishments Act, states have stipulated minimum EL, CL, and SL to be given to employees. Details have already been tabulated by members.
Delhi state does not lay down SL separately and states entitlement per year as 12 CL/SL. Organizations are at liberty to frame rules, but leaves should not be less than stipulated in the Act. What Mr. Madhu has stated is, otherwise, absolutely correct.
