Dear Alpana,
There are two issues:--
Leave policy
and Holidays
In case your startup falls in Shop and Establishment Act than adhere to EL/CL/ctSL as stipulated in the Act
In case it falls under factories Act, then follow what is contained in the Factories Act
This will take care of leave policy.
Now for Paid Holidays which are calling Annual Holidays, the details will be available in State Rules.
You may check the same from internet.
In case of difficulty mail me at skumar.rathi@gmail and I will try to help you out.
Best Wishes.

Hi Alpana,

Greetings .....

Alpana, my experience of handling Statutory Issues are that the Law Enforcing Authorities would never trouble you if facilities and benefits you extend to your Employees are adequate or more than what is statutorily provided for. It is therefore essential to have complete knowledge of statute and match (or provide more) you "Organisational Convenience" with an eye on Employee Welfare.

Since many of our learned friends have detailed "statute" affecting the "Leave Policy" of an organisation, I suggest that you chart them "Leave Type" (Festival Holidays/CL/PL or EL/SL) Column-wise and different "Acts providing for it" Row-wise. Reserve the last Row for "Proposed for the Organisation". Now, in the last row repeat (in each Column) the "highest value" in the Column-Cell above to cover your Organisation statutorily.

You may thereafter put your working to your management for a decision based on "Staff Welfare". I must put here that the "Production Target" be kept in view while doing so. Your "Leave Policy" thus is made and ready to he included in overall "HR Policy".

Last but not the least, for an Unionized Organisation, the policy derived as above must have their concurrence as well.

Regards & Wishes,

Hi Appreciate this post.Hr policies in respect of leave should explain everything abt leave.eg.what is leave?how leave is to be availed.who can approve leave?what are the leave entitlments.Under which applicable law the leave policy is regulated.whatare the consequences if leave overstayed orif not taken.Min andax leave days that can be granted as per specific law govering the organisation.etc.More importantly for aĺl aspects emplyee welfare it is duty of hr managers on behalf of managemnt to keep thhe emplyees informed abt the applicable laws and how under the company`s hr policy their welfare is covered.while all employees should formally be abiding by the same policies and directives released from time to time by the managment

Lastly pls refer the applicable labour laws and acts all such social wefare details are taken care of

Eg for comm establishments it is shops and estd act.for factories it is factories act.etc.

Framing leave policy will also require displaying abstract of such rules and any other notifaction that is relevat snd latest.

Hi .Alpanaji, 2.2.17. ..

Thanks for your query in CiteHR- Reg. HR Policies- Congrats; u got a chance to setup HRD. 100s of Works/Steps are there to setup HRD . No one solution can solve several existing HR problems/ issues/Systems u may have/U face.

It depends upon the type of Co.,Mfg., Estt., M’gmnt’sVision, no. of Depts.,employees & varies from Co. to Co.

==== Abbreviations used to reduce space.

I am an Ex AGM-HR&Adm.with 35+ yrs.exp.in HR,IR,LEGAL, & Admn., Works of 7 Mfg. Cos.- Steel Plants, Power, Chemical , Electronics Plants & Mines ( 2000 + CL). Due to sudden CLOSURE of our STEEL PLANT , I developed /Started H.R.Consultancy and I am providing Consultancy for past 5 yrs.for H.R. Management ( Recruitment to Separation - Soft Copy- for all HR Jobs for easy Adoption).

I hope; some of the below Systems, Rules will be helpful for your P&A works.

LEAVE RULES:

=========

HRM to make Leave Rules keeping Co.’s interest, Complying Factories, S&CE.Act as the case may be, Empl’s interest & similar Cos. in the area as it may affect Cos.reputation, employees morale & retention.

I CAN provide ALL Rules+ Forms for

=========

all types of LEAVES- SHORT & LONG LEAVE,

W-Off, Extra Work, Co-Off Rules, Appn.& Regr

M.B. Rules, Appn. & Pay Forms,

P.L. Rules, Appn.to Encash & Pay - Forms



Most empl’s try to save Leave (& he must save since that is what he get - as Encashment when he leave job).

When the emply’ suddenly go due to urgency & return after 3-4 days, How to adjust/save his W-O?

Today, HRM is blamed for Not making Rules; though all Rules exist to take care of Co. & workers interest.

=============

1. LEAVE CARD/ RECORD (L.C) FORM:

=============================

Some Cos. still use Leave Appn.-(LA)Loose Forms to take Leave every time: As LA is loose, difficulty to Check, Account, Store, keep track; to make Monthly Salary besides Saving PAPER & Printing Cost/WASTE where hundreds of empl’s work.

On Checking 500 entries of Bio-metric Attendance in Big Cos., 20 LA was missing. As LA is loose, Seniors don’t get time to check each loose LA & so, Co.pay wages as Certified by Staff though empls. took leave. Hence,

You can PRINT & Use LEAVE CARD (LC)-RECORD & Stop LA:. LC is handy, Seniors can always Check, Find No.of times, days Leave taken; to Calculate Monthly CL, SL,PL/EL to make Salary. LC/RECORD is Statutory. It cannot be manipulated like Loose LA.

1 Card for 1 Employee for 1 year.

You can introduce LC in Jan.2017. After one year, keep old LC- in Per.File as Record to verify in future. Easy for P&A to work out Entitlment, Balance- Leave Management. It is cheap & easy to maintain. Empl. will know how often he is taking Leave & HOD can caution, Mis-use/approve on need basis. Custody-P&A. Each HOD to keep LC to facilitate his Empl.to take Leave. HR to call LC when Reqd., to update Leave Regr , Month-end, Decmbr. - Statutory.

================

2.HOLIDAY LIST-2017 – OPTIONAL HOLIDAYS:

================

For Continuous Working Cos.,(Mines, Plants) -for uninterrupted Works, 2 Optional Holidays can be given with National & Festival Holidays to ensure Min.MP to man Essential Services like Prodn., O&M, A/c.s, HR etc., as most empl’s don’t observe all Festivals at 1 time & so, when 1 set of empl’s take Holiday, other set can work & vise-versa. Thus, HODs can plan min.MP for Shift duty/ maintain Essential Services by adjusting MP to suit his needs & avoid OT or stop work due to Holidays (without increasing Declared Holidays-10-12).

================

PERSONAL INFN. CHANGES NOTICE -P.I.C.N.-FORM

. ============

Most HR/P&A Dept. have Per.Files on all empl’s.Still,

many empl’s current Infn. is missing when HOD wants it; i.e.

1. Present Address to send Notice to X,

2. Mobile No. would have changed to contact X

3. Nominees detls. to Notify accident etc.

4. Nominees detls. to send payment of deceased X

5. To know Marital / dependents detls,

6. To verify latest Addnl. Qlfcn. etc.,

As the above infn. have changed after giving Ist BIO-DATA -on joining, they can be collected by Dec.2016 using above Form to update MIS, MP dtls. For Per.File, PF, ESI & other Stat.Returns,ISO Recordsfor Promotion, S.I./A.I. in Jan.2017 etc.

====================

4. MAN POWER INDENT / REQUISITION –M.P.I./ R. Form :

===================================

Recruitment work starts when User Dept. sends MPI/R.F. to HRD/P&A. This Single Sheet Form has many Columns for HOD to Indent several posts- like Name/No.of Post tobe filled, J.D., Qlfcn, Exp.,Grade etc. (of the Person to be recruited). After Appl.by Competent Authority, send to HR Dept. HRD to compare MP Appl. with MP Planning & Succession Planning Statements to Check Internal Candidates+CL etc. If no suitable match, take MD’s appl. to recruit. Follow Recruitment Procedures. Notify to Employment Exchanges under CNVAct, Employees referrals, Data Base. If no candidate, Issue Paper/TV Ad./ Contact Recruiting Agents to Sponsor suitable Candidates.

=====================

5. ABSENT NOTIFICATION FORM - A.N.F.

=========

Absenteeism is becoming a serious problem in some Cos. HRM is blamed for laxity. It can be controlled by using above Form. HRM to take Action against erring employee or when a HOD sends A.N.F. to him. Proper Disc.Procedure tobe followed for AOS lest; Court may nullify it as void.

SAMPLE CIRCULAR + FORM for Adoption, are given below: (1 50 RP&F available).

==============================

6. WHY STANDING ORDERS (S.O.) -- I.D.Act. ???

==============

A Certified S.O. under Indus.Employment(S.O) Act; empowers the Co. to take Disc.Action against its Empl’s for violating T&C in S.O. BUT; the Co. cannot punish Empl’s for Acts not included in S.O - SUPREME COURT.

TERMINATION WITHOUT ENQUIRY/NATURAL JUSTICE etc. IS ILLEGAL & Court can re-instate such Empl’s.

Hence, Imp.Acts/Conducts involving Discipline of empl’s; MUST be included in “MIS-CONDUCT LIST” in S.O. & PROCEDURES of NATURAL JUSTICE MUST be OBSERVED to make Co’s. action LEGAL.

Do’s, Don’t’s, Duties of empl’s -100 Points,

Mis-conducts forwhich empl’s LIABLE FOR DISCI.ACTION-80 points, Co.Appn/BioData Form-40Points, Imp.t&c.in Appt.Order.-for Sk-20, Suprvsrs &above-35. (Pl.check t&c in ur Co.Appn., A.O, S.O.etc.)- Effect of Non- inclusion.
