Our leave year follows the calendar year, from January to December.
Every team member is allocated 45 leave days per year, apart from the public holiday list. If you join during the year, your leaves will be allocated on a pro-rata basis.
The 45 leaves are split into:
- 35 Casual Leaves
- 10 Sick Leaves
In addition, team members can avail 180 days of Maternity Leave or 15 days of Paternity Leave, subject to the required documentation.
Applying for Leave
To apply for leave, go to the Leave Application record. Leaves are self-approved, so you don't need to wait for your Team Lead or HR to approve every leave.
For longer planned leaves or vacations, inform your team well in advance and make sure any ongoing work is handed over or reassigned. The idea is simple: take the time you need, but make sure the team isn't caught by surprise or blocked while you're away.
If you need to take more than your allocated 45 leaves, speak to your Team Lead or HR. There is no automatic pay deduction simply because you have crossed your allocated leaves. The leave allocation and tracking are maintained as a statutory requirement.
Sabbatical Leave
Sometimes you may need a longer break from work, whether for your mental health, personal circumstances, a career break, or simply some time away.
If you need a sabbatical, speak to your Team Lead or HR. You can first use your available paid leaves and then move to an unpaid sabbatical for a period mutually agreed upon with your Team Lead and HR.
Carry Forward and Encashment
Leaves are meant to be used. Unused leaves do not carry forward to the next calendar year and cannot be encashed. A fresh leave allocation begins every January.
