Description Policy Leave

This AHI form is a family leave policy checklist that ensures that the company policy is clearly stated to employees.

Leave policy in Infosys is designed to provide employees with adequate time off to maintain work-life balance while ensuring smooth functioning of the organization. The company recognizes the importance of employees' physical and mental well-being, and thus, offers various types of leaves to cater to diverse needs: 1. Annual Leave: Infosys employees are entitled to a certain number of annual leaves, which can be availed for personal reasons, vacation, or relaxation. These leaves are accrued over a specific period, typically at the rate of one leave per month, and can be carried forward to the next year within a certain limit. 2. Sick Leave: In case of illness or medical emergencies, Infosys provides sick leaves to employees for their recovery. These leaves can be availed upon the presentation of a medical certificate and may vary in duration depending on the severity of the condition. 3. Maternity and Paternity Leave: Infosys acknowledges the significance of parental bonding and offers maternity and paternity leaves to employees who are expecting or adopting a child. Maternity leave enables female employees to take time off before and after childbirth, while paternity leave allows male employees to actively participate in the early stages of parenthood. 4. Bereavement Leave: In case of the unfortunate demise of an immediate family member, Infosys provides bereavement leave to allow employees to grieve, make necessary arrangements, and attend funeral ceremonies. 5. Compassionate Leave: In exceptional circumstances where employees require time off due to personal reasons like a critical illness or death of a family member, compassionate leave is granted to support them during these challenging times. 6. Balance Leave: Infosys understands that employees may occasionally need time off for personal obligations or unforeseen circumstances. Balance leave, also known as discretionary leave, can be utilized for such instances upon prior approval from supervisors. 7. Restricted Leave: Certain periods, such as annual financial closures or critical project milestones, may necessitate limiting employee leaves. Restricted leave policy defines specific dates or durations during which leaves may not be granted unless deemed crucial. Infosys encourages its employees to utilize their leaves wisely and responsibly, fostering a culture where work and personal life are well-integrated. The leave policy ensures that employees are supported in maintaining their well-being, which ultimately contributes to their productivity and overall satisfaction in the workplace.
