Leave Policy

The set of rules governing leave types, accrual, carry-forward, and approval workflows within a company.

A Leave Policy is the documented set of rules covering every leave type a company offers — Casual, Sick, Earned, and any others — along with how each accrues, whether it can be carried forward or encashed, and who approves requests.

A well-defined leave policy matters more as headcount grows: at a handful of employees, leave can be tracked informally, but past roughly 10-15 people, inconsistent or undocumented leave rules become a frequent source of disputes and payroll errors.
