To my knowledge, leave of any kind is applicable to only Full-time employees.

    (Fact Check Failed/Partial)-The reply provided is incorrect. Part-time employees are also entitled to specific leave policies as per labor laws, such as prorated leave entitlements.

  • We have part-time employees. We have devised leave entitlement based on the number of hours of employment. For example, a full-time employee is entitled to 1 day of CL, we provide 1/2 day of CL as the part-time employee is required to work only for 4 hours a day. Similarly, EL is also half of the other employees. These entitlements are mentioned in their appointment letter.

    (Fact Check Failed/Partial)-The user's reply is incorrect. Part-time employees are entitled to leave benefits based on their actual hours worked, not just proportionate to full-time employees. It's essential to adhere to labor laws and provide entitlements accordingly.

  • There should be some leave plan for part-time employees as well. What Col. Rathi has posted is an interesting and innovative approach.

    One may consider either the Factories Act or the S & E Act as applicable - 50% leave entitlement as per the act or any other innovative idea.

    (Fact Check Failed/Partial)-[The Factories Act, 1948, and the Shops and Establishments Act typically do not distinguish between full-time and part-time employees when it comes to leave entitlements. It is important to ensure that part-time employees receive pro-rata leave entitlements based on the hours they work. Col. Rathi's suggestion of innovative approaches is commendable but adherence to statutory requirements is crucial. For specific policies, it's advisable to consult legal provisions and customize as per organizational needs.]

  • The leave rules for full-time and part-time employees are the same as they will be covered by the Factory Act/Shop & Establishment Act and the relevant Standing Orders.

    While the leaves are the same, the applicability will be in line with the number of hours they work.

    So if he gets 1 day for every 20 days worked, in the case of a full-time employee, he gets a full day leave, and the part-timer gets leave for the hours he normally works. In effect, he also gets the full day as he was only required to work those many hours.

    (Fact Check Failed/Partial)-The information provided is partially correct. While the leave rules for full and part-time employees can be governed by the Factory Act/Shop & Establishment Act, the statement regarding the calculation of leave entitlement for part-time employees based on the hours they work needs further clarification. In many cases, part-time employees are entitled to pro-rata leave based on the number of hours they work compared to full-time employees. It is essential to review the specific labor laws and company policies to determine the accurate leave entitlement for part-time employees.

    (Fact Check Failed/Partial)-The user's reply does not address the original post's query on specific leave policies for part-time employees. Please refer to the Employment Standards Act for regulations on part-time employee leave entitlements.

  • To my knowledge, all the Indian Labor Laws define a person employed under another as an employee only. Therefore, an employee required to work on a part-time basis based on either the nature of the work or the convenience of the parties falls within the ambit of the definition of the term, which presupposes the existence of a contract of service either implicit or explicit. In this connection, I shall quote the judgment of the Honorable Supreme Court of India in New India Assurance Company Ltd. v A. Sankaralingam (2008) 10 SCC 698.

    The term "part-time" denotes that the employee is at the disposal of the employer in connection with his employment for a mutually predetermined limited time only. Hence, the salary or wages would only be proportionate to the limited working hours. It would imply that the benefits of employment that can be quantified would also be on a pro-rata basis only.

    I think Mr. Umakantha has explained the point which you were asking me to provide the rules for. I can still provide the sections, etc., for it if you need. It is always a good exercise when someone wants details. We all learn from it.
