Hi Friends
We started a new IT development center at Gurguaon recently. I need help in formulating a leave policy for the new center. What are the various types of leaves and their min Vs max limits that needs to be considered / provided, few benchmark data will also help in case if that can be shared.
I come from South India and i don't have an idea on the local legislation. Please share your thoughts!
Thanks,
H. Mohammed Farook
