Paid leave for illness or medical recovery, generally requiring a medical certificate beyond a short threshold.
Sick Leave is paid time off granted for illness or medical recovery, kept separate from Casual and Earned Leave in most Indian leave policies. Companies typically require a medical certificate for absences beyond two or three consecutive days.
Sick Leave balances usually don't carry the same encashment or carry-forward rights as Earned Leave — most policies either reset the balance annually or allow only limited carry-forward, since it's intended for actual need rather than as a form of accrued compensation.
