What’s “Casual Leave”, you ask? Casual Leave is Leave that’s credited to you for any unforeseen situation (in case of emergencies, when someone is unwell, or for unplanned situations) for which you will have to go for one or two days leaves. You can also take this leave once in a month for the occasional break.
10 casual leaves will be credited to your leave balance at the start of the calendar year.
“I joined in July. How many leaves will I get?”
If you have a similar question, here’s the math – Leave credited to your account on prorate basis i.e. if you joined in July then you will get 10/12*6= 5 leaves.
Since casual leaves are generally not planned well in advance, it is recommended to be consumed 1 day at a time and cannot be consumed on more than two consecutive working days. Hence, up to 2 days can be taken continuously with a 3-day gap before applying CLs again.
Causal days cannot be carried forward to the next year nor encashed. Hence it’s best to consume them in the same calendar year when credited.
We expect you to inform your line manager and HR at least a day before you go for leave but if there is an emergency it is okay if you inform us on the same day.
