Hi Everyone!
I am working with a US based Software company having its ODC in Pune.
We have been giving 24 days of paid leave to all the employees so far. However, we wanted to revise our leave policy for the next financial year and would like to know what is the general norm for # of days of leave in the IT industry in Pune.
We are a company registered under the Bombay Shop and Establishment Act. Have off on Saturdays and Sundays and have 10 holidays in a year.
Would appreciate your comments so as to decide the # of days of leave for our employees.
Regards,
Niki

Dear Nikita,
The normal practice ranges from one good IT Company (CMM Level 3 to CMM Level 5 Company) to another. Some large and good ones even have 30 Earned Leave (or Privilege Leave, 15 days Sickness Leave and 15 days Casual Leave. (These three are the main type of leave as per any Act (including the Shops & Establishment Act). You can add many more types of leave to attract/retain employees.
You can recommend to your management the following quantum of leave for the new financial year as follows :
1. Earned Leave - (between 15 days to 30 days per annum)
2. Sickness Leave - (between 7 days to 15 days per annum)
3. Casual Leave - (between 7 days to 12 days per annum)
Holidays in IT Companies normally range from 10 to 12 days per annum. Five days week has no impact on the quantum of leave, statutorily.
Do ensure that you do not reduce any of your leave below what is stipulated under the Bombay Shops and Establishments Act, 1948. If you exceed the quantum of leave stipulated under this Act, there is no problem.
Regards,
Rahul
