Dear Members,
I am working in a Law firm as Manager HR one of the Advocate is urguing that there are few companies where they not deduct the leave if have taken leave on the consecutive days for eg. if u have taken leave on sat and monday our practise is we deduct 3 days leave, but the advocate say that the HR should deduct only 2 leave instead of 3 days .
Kindly advise whether the policy differs from company to company, or the HR is right in deducting 3 days leave. If there is any updatation in lave policy pl let me know.
VERY URGENT !!!!!

Hi Shiela,
To my knowledge, the leave policy differs from company to company. The leave structure in terms of casual leave, sick leave, vacation leave, etc. and whether the Business Holidays and Weekend leave is to be considered is specific for every company and is defined in the Employee Handbook or Company Policy Manual for Associate's reference.
If there is no such policy defined for your company you could work on formulating it with the help of Top Management.

Shaila,
I have worked in 4 companies. Everywhere it is 2 days we have to deduct if it is EL , Comp Off,CL or ant special Leaves on sat and mon. We have to deduct Sunday only if it is Absent or loss of pay, which doesnt come under any special leaves.

dear sheila,
the argument of the advocate is correct if ur deducting leave such as Earned Leave, Casual Leave and Sick Leave. If it is Special Leave such as Maternity Leave or Paternity Leave u can deduct 3 days.
the same we are following in our Public Sector Company

Dear HR, you are right .It should be 3 days. However if you think it’s going to demotive your employee, there is no wrong in changing the Rules. Regards, Gabriel Shashidhar
Hi Shiela,
Yes one should deduct and it is a universal practise to deduct 3 days the idea behind this is to discourage employees to take consective leaves and sunday being misused and this will encourge other employees to plan thier leaves like this and hence will lead to more abscentism both on opening and closing day of week.

Hi,
As Sri rightly pointed out earlier, the Leave policy should be framed in consultation with the Top management. There is no prescribed guidelines as such. Generally it is counted as 3 days, when one takes saturday and Monday as leave. However it can be changed and kept as 2 days since the employee has actually taken leave for 2 days. One can also frame it in such a way that, if and only if it a part of privilege leave which one generally take when they take leave for a vacation or visit back-home, in which case the leave days will be counted as 2 only.
I strongly recommend that it should be kept as 2 days irrespective of sunday forming part of it.
Opinions differ, anyway.

Hi,
Who says deducting three days is a universal practice. It all depends on the company policy. As far as i know we should not deduct sundays falls between leave period unless the employee is on Loss of Pay.
These practices will only demotivate the employee.

Hi SHeila ..
I work as a HR Manager in an IT organisation ...it depends from Organisation to Organisatioon how The HR policies are implemented ...Like for instance in my Previous oragnisation The policy said deduct three leaves in case the employee is absent on saturday as well as monday ...Here Sunday wil also be taken as leave ...and also if any public holidays are in between wont be counted ...for instance ..If an employee is going on leave on Friday ,and saturday is a public holiday ..but the employee returns on Tuesday then the saturday is also taken as a leave ...
But in my current Organisation i have designed the Leave policy in the same manner as u specified ..like in ur case only two leaves will be deducted sunday wont be counted ...
So depends on The HR of the specific Organisation ..There are pros and cons for both the policies however ...The first one reduces absentism and decreases employee morale but the second one ..increases employee morale ..
