Hi, I don,t know about government companies but in private companies management consider only few sick leaves may be 8-10 days but more than that is at the sole discretion of management.

Dear Sir
As far as my views go, Sick Leave is not covered under any law and is only the provision by companies as a benefit for employees. All that we have as leave is according to the section in Factories Act 1948 that talks about annual leave with wages which in common language we call it as Earn Leave. A person is eligible for leave with pay only if he utilizes this Earn Leave for any purpose be it sickness, personal etc. This explanation is purely based on law.
Apart from that if a company wants to extend an extra benefit to an employee by making Sick Leave as leave with pay, then that benefit becomes applicable. This will be clearly spelt out by the company HR policy or the Standing Orders of the company.
