Hi Gurus,
I have framed a leave policy for my company. I want your feedback on the same, since i have done it for the first time without any senior guidance.
Also i have doubts about maternity leave.
How many months of services should the employee must have completed to avail to maternity leave. And is it necessary to pay the salary before employee goes on ML.
Please help.

Hi!
The policy seems to be good but u missed out the following:
1. Types of leaves i.e sick leave,maternity leave etc.
2. Eligibility and Applicability of leaves - ie to probationary employees, trainees and employees on the payrolls.
In my opinion, an employee should serve a minimum of 3 months to avail the maternity leave and benefits. Salary could be issued on the date of disbursement of salaries to employees and no special consideration is required unless requested. ie U need not pay before they go on leave. It could be credited to their account when it is done to all employees.
Hope I communicated and answered ur query.

Hi,
Thanks so much for your feedback.
As you mentioned sick leaves is not included the reason is that i wanted to make the policy simpler. And i believe thats the trend followed internationally also to club all the leaves together. And as per our old policy only 14 leaves were given to employees so i think they will be any ways happy abt the increased number.
I am gonna add maternity leave too. I holded it bcoz i had some doubts which u have cleared now.
I hav newly joined this company, there are employees who have completed over 6 mths of probation period but no confirmation has been given to them. So in this case how should i consider difference in confirmed employees and not confirmed employees while giving leaves. Now in such a senario to avoid confusion i thought it would be better to have leaves from DOJ itself.
Please give your views.

Hi Neeta, Vasudha
One thing I'd like to point out is that I believe that maternity leave can be granted if that particular female employee is not pregnant at the time of joining the organisation (which probably means 9 months).
Please cross check that. If I'm wrong then please correct me too since I'm not much into personnel work

Sorry to interrupt but i think you guys hav diverted from my leave policy

And as per our old policy only 14 leaves were given to employees so i think they will be any ways happy abt the increased number.
I have included maternity leave and attached the new policy.
I hav newly joined this company, we are only 20 at this point there are employees who have completed over 6 mths of probation period but no confirmation has been given to them. So in this case how should i consider difference in confirmed employees and not confirmed employees while giving leaves.Now in such a senario to avoid confusion i thought it would be better to have leaves from DOJ itself.
