Sick Leave Policy

Policy Overview:
We carefully design our sick leave policy, considering legal requirements and company culture.
We value employee health and offer work-from-home options as an alternative to sick leaves.
To maintain integrity, we provide longer paid time off (PTO) instead of traditional sick leave.

Scope of the policy:


This policy applies to all full-time employees and part-time employees who have worked for at
least 6 months or completed their probation period.

Sick Leave Entitlement:


Employees get (number of days) days of sick leave each year, starting from 1st January.

Conditions for Availing Sick Leave:


Employees can take sick leave for:
1. Recovering from an illness.
2. Returning after an accident.
3. Health check-ups during sickness.
4. Caring for an ill family member.
Menstruation leaves fall under Paid Time Off or PTO Leave.

How to Apply for Sick Leave:


Inform your Supervisor and HR at least half an hour before your scheduled starting time. You
may need to provide a physician's certificate if required. The final decision rests with the
Supervisor and HR.

Sick Leave Incentive Program:


To discourage misuse, we have a sick leave incentive program. You get a bonus equivalent to
(number of days) days pay if you use 3 or fewer sick leaves.
Extended Leave for Disabilities:
Permanently or temporarily disabled employees can request extended leave with approval from
the concerned team leader and HR.

Letter of Release:
For surgeries or hospitalizations lasting more than 24 hours, provide a letter of release or fitness
certificate before resuming work.

Use of Vacation Leaves as Sick Leave:


If you exhaust all sick leave, you may use vacation leave as sick leave. But sick leave cannot be
used as vacation leave.

By following this Sick Leave Policy, we create a supportive work environment that prioritizes
employee well-being and productivity.
