Compensatory Off (comp-off)
If an employee has to work on a weekend or a holiday due to the priority of the deliverables, they are offered a
compensatory off on any other workday.
Since these leaves depend on the business requirements, the grant of these leaves happens on a work basis. There is
a process for claiming and availing comp-off leave.
The employee has to claim comp off after having worked on a non-working day. This request is approved by the
immediate manager and then forwarded to HR. Once approved, a comp-off leave is granted to the employee.
Guidelines for Leave Policy:
o Leave cannot be claimed as a matter of right. Any kind of leave can be granted or refused depending upon
the business demands. Leave of absence from work without proper approval will call for disciplinary
action. Leave meaning is to go away for something for a short period of time.
o The calendar year for leave is from April to March.
o All leave record of the employees shall be maintained by HR Department.
o An employee shall not proceed on leave until unless leave has been approved by reporting manager.
