Hi all, I am working in a Pvt. Ltd. company, and I have joined in January 2012. An employee is entitled to take 22 leaves in a year. Can anyone please let me know how an employee can avail of these leaves? To date, I have taken 13.5 leaves and am still facing leave deductions. Please help.

Though it depends upon the leave policy of the company, normally the leave does not accrue to an employee in the first year of service unless he completes one year of service or 240 days of service as the case may be. Probably, this must be the reason your salary is being deducted for the days of your absence in the first year of your service. Anyhow, check your leave policy.

@saiconsult - Thanks a lot for this information. It will surely help me out.

@amit - I have thought of approaching my HR team today. I would note down the leave policy from them. I didn't know that the policy is different for new joiners. Your reply is appreciated.

It depends on whether the company follows the calendar year or financial year for leave calculation.

Also, as your company provides you with 22 leaves in a year, you are entitled to 1.8 leaves per month (calculated on a pro-rated basis).

Additionally, as suggested by other colleagues, check the probation clause as well.

Hi Neha,

Thank you very much for your response. In my company, we operate on a financial year basis. It is true that we are entitled to 1.8 leaves per month. However, during the probation period, a new employee is granted one leave per month, and after that, it increases to 1.8 leaves per month. Unfortunately, I have already utilized all my leaves, which is why I am experiencing deductions.

I appreciate your input.

Best regards,

As per the act, you are entitled to get one earned leave for every 20 working days (Factories Act 1948). I agree with the above emails. You have to know the company's probation period policy, confirmed employee policy, and then you will come to know about the leave structure.

Hi, The leave is calculated on pro ratio basis wherein you can avail 7 days once in four months. Hope this clarifies. Regards, chingari

It depends upon your terms of appointment to be read with the Leave Policy of the Company. You have not specified the type of leave applied for by you. If you are a trainee or probationer, you may not get EL until confirmation. The policy varies from organization to organization.

Dear All,

First of all, note that the HR department is working in the company for the sake of employees. The HR department is working to provide required services to the employees. Remove the impressions from your minds that HR is here to make unnecessary deductions and always change the salary structures.

The fact is that this is the only job that all employees can visualize as to what HR is doing in an organization, whereas all other things done for the company go unnoticed.

At the end of the day or month, HR is not only to provide you salaries but also many other things.

Please understand that HR department employees are also human beings, and human beings are prone to make mistakes. Here and there, a few mistakes might occur, but please understand that they would not purposefully put employees into trouble.

Always remember that official life is different, and personal life is different. Do not mix up both and blame HR that they have done it purposefully.

This is not only related to your case, but the comment made is in general. Usually, what employees feel about the HR department.

Regards,
