L&T Leave Policy — Practical Employee Guide
Leave and holiday rules can vary by business vertical (EPC, Power, Heavy Engineering, IT), project site, state law, and employee grade.
Always verify final applicability in HRMS/ESS, current HR circulars, and your project/site notices.
Indicative Leave Types
| Leave Type | Purpose | Typical Rule |
|---|---|---|
| Casual Leave (CL) | Short personal needs | Apply in advance where possible; location-wise entitlement |
| Sick Leave (SL) | Illness/medical recovery | Medical certificate may be required beyond threshold |
| Earned/Privilege Leave (EL/PL) | Planned time-off/long travel | Credited periodically; carry-forward/encashment as per policy |
| Maternity Benefit | Per law | Up to 26 weeks (conditions apply) |
| Paternity/Adoption Leave | New parent support | As per internal policy & approval |
| Compensatory Off | Worked on weekly off/holiday | Credited as per site roster & manager approval |
Note: Exact count/eligibility differs by site, state and grade. Refer HRMS for your matrix.
Absence Regularisation & Payroll Impact
- Approved leave flows to monthly payroll via HRMS.
- Insufficient balance or late/unapproved absence can be marked as Loss of Pay (LOP).
- Site overtime/comp off is processed per roster & attendance policy.
- Salary slips and leave ledgers are available in HRMS/ESS.
Sandwich Rule — Quick Example
| Dates | Day Type | Counted As |
|---|---|---|
| Fri | Leave | Leave |
| Sat–Sun | Weekly Off | May be counted as leave (if sandwich rule is active) |
| Mon | Leave | Leave |
Applicability is location/vertical-specific. Check your plant/site policy before planning long weekends.
Leave Encashment (Overview)
Unused EL/PL may be eligible for encashment at year-end or during Full & Final settlement, subject to grade-wise caps.
Encashment is generally computed on eligible pay (e.g., basic pay + DA) and is taxable under income tax provisions.

| Monthly Basic + DA | ₹52,000 | Eligible component considered for encashment |

| TDS (Illustrative) | ₹2,080 | 10% example; actual tax as per slab/rules |
