Purpose: The Company recognizes and respects the associate's need for leaves to enjoy a
substantial break from work or to manage personal exigencies.
Approval of Leave: All leaves have to be applied and approved through the online leave
management system. Leave will be approved at the discretion of the sanctioning authority based on
the delivery exigencies of the organization. Associates will be required to plan their long-term leave
at least a month (30 days) in advance, in consultation with their Immediate Managers both
administratively / functionally. At a time, maximum of fifteen (15) days of continuous leave is allowed.
Such leaves have to be applied and approved in the system before the associate avails the leave.
In case an associate avails urgent/unplanned leave to meet an emergency, it must be informed to
his/her Mentor / Project Manager through mail or phone. Any leaves availed but not applied in the
system will be treated as leave without pay.
Associates availing leave should leave their contact address / phone numbers with their Immediate
Managers in HRMS.
Leave during the notice period are not encouraged and can be availed only in case of emergencies
with the consent and approval of the Mentor and Project Manager. Leaves taken otherwise will
increase the notice period days by the number of leave days availed by the associate during notice
period.
