Hi,
As per law employees should get minimum 15 days of earned leave in a year & 12 days of CL/SL in a year. CL & SL are generally pro-rate.
Maternity & Paternity Leave (as per law)
Gazetted / national holidays & restricted Holidays (national holidays are fixed, you may increase the list but can¡¦t decrease)
You may change the names of the leave and call them whatever you want to.
Generally EL¡¦s & SL¡¦s are carried forward to next near & CL¡¦s not. EL¡¦s are calculated only against employees present and deducted for his absence period or leave without pay period.
You can limit the maximum accumulation for the leaves which are carried forward to next year and also give the option of encashment of EL¡¦s.
Generally companies bind their employees as follows:
„X You can¡¦t take more than 3 CL¡¦s consecutively
„X You can¡¦t take less than 3 EL¡¦s
„X For availing more than 3 SL¡¦s you need to get a medical certificate.
„X EL¡¦s & CL¡¦s can¡¦t be clubbed together.
„X SL¡¦s & CL¡¦s can be clubbed together.
„X Sundays & Holidays in between the leave days will be sandwiched & counted as leave period only etc.
Based on management discretion, the above may be changed for the employees of talent pool of the organization.
Try to give them as much flexibility as possible keeping in mind the notorious members also who proceed on leave and keep on extending their leaves, utilize all of them and sends you his / her resignation thereafter.
You may devise some extraordinary leave or special kind of leave for members going that extra mile e.g. 1 day off for blood donation etc.
Do not forget to keep the option of leave without pay to meet some emergencies.
You can¡¦t decrease the number of leaves specified by the Government but increase as much as you want.
EL Calculation:
(Total no of days of employees presence / Total no. of working days in a year) * (no. of EL's provided by the company)
Hope this will help you.

Hi, From my understanding, EL is calculated as 1.5 days for every completed month of service and for the purpose of encashment, it is calculated on the basis of Basic salary Thanks Sherine
