The object of casual leave is to meet unforeseen or sudden contingencies which force the absence of an employee. The purpose of privilege leave is for rest, recuperation, or for medical reasons. Normally, both types of leaves are not combined as a matter of policy unless a company's leave policy explicitly permits it. Companies can always offer better terms than those provided under any law related to leave.

There is a difference in legal status between CL and other kinds of leave, as far as public service is concerned. CL is considered to be duty, while other kinds of leave are not. Therefore, if an employee is on leave (other than CL) on the day of their increment, the date of the increment would be postponed until they join duty.

The same applies to intervening holidays. While availing CL, intervening holidays would not be counted as leave. On the other hand, when on other types of leave, intervening holidays would be counted as leave, and holidays could be prefixed/suffixed. Due to the difference in legal status, availing CL is not permissible in combination with other types of leave.

Employees covered under Certified Standing Orders of the organization or if the Certified Standing Orders are not available, then the Model Standing Orders under "The Industrial Employment (Standing Orders) Act, 1946," a provision is made under clause 14 (2) of the Model Standing Orders which read as follows:

"14 (2) Casual leave shall be non-cumulative, and no leave of any kind may be combined with casual leave."

Employees not covered under "The Industrial Employment (Standing Orders) Act, 1946," they shall be governed under the leave rules framed by the organization.
