Overview

A Leave Policy defines the types of time-off available to employees, the accrual rates, and the procedure for applying for and approving leaves. It covers statutory leaves mandated by law and optional leaves provided by the company.

Businesses need this to manage their workforce availability and to ensure that employees take necessary breaks without affecting business continuity. It is a vital component of the employee benefits package in India.

Legally, the policy must meet the minimum leave standards set by the state-specific Shops & Establishments Act or Factories Act. It covers risks related to "Leave Denials" and ensures that the company accurately manages its liability for leave encashment at the end of the year.
