I wanted to find out the legality for the given policy.
All requests for leave must be requested at least 48 hours in advance. Leaves longer than 2 days have to be requested at least 10 days in advance. Any leave request is not Meeting the above criteria will be considered unscheduled.
What if the person falls ill on the weekend or else any emergency happens?
Is it legal to still consider it unscheduled because the policy says so?
I appreciate your help with this.

Hi, The above policy should be applicable for planned leaves only. For example an employee applying for Marriage leave/ travelling to native place should be knowing about his/her leave requirement. In that case employee should be encouraged to apply leave in advance. However unplanned leaves like sickness / death of close relative cannot be predicted and HR cannot apply same yardstick for such leaves. Planned leaves helps the Supervisor to maintain the work schedule /plan for replacement etc.

Generally if the leave is both prefixed and suffixed by a holiday/ weekly off then the holiday/ weekly off is also considered as leave. But if it is either suffixed or prefixed then that holiday is not considered as leave. For example: if a person has taken leave on Saturday and Monday then Sunday (which is a weekly off) will also be considered as leave (3 days). But if the 2 days leave is on Friday- Saturday or Monday-Tuesday then Sunday is not added on to the leave.
