Subject -casual leave as a matter of right
In terms of model standing orders framed under Industrial employment (standing Orders) Act 1946, leave cannot be claimed as a matter of right.Though the puropose of casual leave is to enable an employee to obstain from duty to meet an unforseen or urgent need and thus obviates the need to either give prior intimation to or obtain prior sanction from the competent authority, it cannot be construed as a matter of right nor allowed as an excuse for absence without notice frequently. It is the conduct of the employee which gives evidence of the fact whether he is utilising casual for genuine purposes or abusing it. Thus the mangement can refuse to grant casual leave to an erring employee if he habitually resorts to it to abstain frm duties without notice.
If leave policy is governed by the contract of service in a company, the stipulation that leave of any kind cannot be claimed as amatter of right is normally part of such contarct or leave policy.

Good question Pon. I would figure it is a right if you can avail whetehr management likes or not, but a privilege, if you have to take management's permission as a matter of courtesy.
Sairam's interpretation is the most logical. Casual leave doesn't mean that you just leave casually. It is a name for a type of leave. However, taking management's permission with suitable justification is a matter of proper form and courtesy.

Hi,
In this case, you prepare a approval note consisting the issue with your proposed action, get it approved by your authrosied persons and present it to Auditor. Auditor has to accept the same, when it is approved.
But keep this in mind, every manual correction or updation, must have an authorisation from a authorised person, so that such issued can not be arised in future.

Dear Dalal
Sub- sick leave-ESI
Firstly an employee who is covered under ESI is entitled to sickness benefit (ie. absence with wages computed in the manner specified under the Act) in terms of ESI Rule 55for a period of 91 days and in the case of disablement such benefit be allowed as long as the disablement persists as per the medical certificate of the Insurance medical officer. This is his entitlement under the Act.
If there is also sick leave admissible under service conditions, Regulation (97) of ESI(General) Regulations 1950 permits an employer to discontinue or reduce such sick leave to the extent prescribed under the said Regulation.
