If anyone knows, please tell me about my query. I need clarification about PL & CL leave types. Could you explain briefly about PL & CL types and which leave falls under PL & CL? My question is, is a death anniversary leave considered CL or PL? Similarly, I need more details.
Thank you

Dear Colleague,
Privilege Leave is a legally entitled leave for every employee who has completed 240 days in the preceding year (in factories) and is extended in the succeeding year, calculated at the rate of 1 day for every 20 days of work. As the term suggests, it is a privilege for such employees and a legal right provided to them. They can have the leave sanctioned according to the leave rules/approval process and accumulate the balance up to a certain limit, such as 30 days, which can also be encashed. The reasons for availing Privilege Leave may vary and are at the discretion of the employee.
On the other hand, Casual Leave is typically granted as per the Leave Policy, customary practice, settlements, awards, Standing Orders, or Leave Rules. It is usually taken for general purposes and to maintain work-life balance. It is called Casual Leave as it implies and can be taken for various reasons such as a death in the family, urgent family needs, or even for personal reasons. Generally, Casual Leave does not accumulate or get encashed. The remaining leave balance each year typically lapses in most organizations.
Please let me know if you need any further assistance or clarification.

Dear Umar,
First and foremost, we should understand the concept of leave in the realm of employment.
'LEAVE' refers to the leave of absence from the place of work. In other words, it is the formal permission given by the employer to the employee to be away from the work as well as the place of work on account of certain reasons or occasions. Thus emerges the different types of leave such as casual leave, earned/privilege leave, sick leave, study leave, leave-not-due, garden leave, leave-on-loss of pay, etc. Notwithstanding the eligibility to salary/wages, leave is an authorized absence not affecting the continuity of service of the employee concerned or his lien on employment as the case may be. It, therefore, implies that leave cannot be claimed by the employee as a matter of right, and its sanction by the employer is a matter of discretion based on work exigencies and the immediacy of the reason thereof.
Coming directly to your query, certain types of leave such as casual leave and sick leave are provided for the purpose of enabling the employee to meet unforeseen circumstances requiring short spells of immediate absence. That's why they are provided on a fixed number of days basis every year and lapsable with the close of the year. Again, these kinds of lapsable leave can either be statutory or as per the contract of employment.
On the contrary, earned leave/annual leave with wages/privilege leave, whatever name is assigned, is leave calculated based on the number of days worked in a calendar year to be availed in the succeeding years with the carried forward facility subject to a certain ceiling prescribed in the establishment-specific labor law or the leave regulations applicable as explained by Dr. Sivakumar. Generally, as the main objective of this leave is to enable the employee to be occasionally away from the monotony of work, it requires application in advance and prior sanction. Moreover, the balance at the credit of this leave is encashable on the termination of employment as one of the terminal benefits of employment.
"Death Anniversary" being the only reason for leave, casual leave can be applied for in advance depending on the number of days required for the rites and rituals according to the Personal Law of the incumbent.
