    Accenture renews its leave policy for India

    Technology major Accenture has introduced a new leave policy for its employees in the Indian market, effective from September 1, 2023.

    Under the new policy, employees will receive three types of leaves: earned leaves, sick and wellness leaves, and casual leaves.

    While earned leaves and sick leaves were present in the previous leave policy, casual leaves have been introduced now.

    In the new policy, the number of earned leaves has been reduced from 24 to 18. Previously, earned leaves were labelled as vacation hours. However, the number of casual leaves and sick leaves has been increased from 7 to 12.

    Furthermore, employees will now be allowed to carry forward 45 days of earned leave. Previously, the maximum number of earned leave days that an employee could carry forward was only 30.

    The leave year will start from September 1 and end on August 31.

    To avail earned leaves, employees must seek prior approval through email or any other mode of communication. Earned leaves will accrue on a pro-rata basis every fortnight. This means that, for 18 earned leaves in a given year, an employee will accrue 0.75 days of leave every fortnight.

    For sick and casual leaves, employees are required to inform their manager through email or any other form of communication as reasonably practicable.

    Additionally, employees will be permitted to take a maximum of two consecutive days of casual leave within a fortnight. Those who wish to take more than two days of casual leave will need to inform and obtain approval from their manager in advance.

    The new leave policy also stipulates that unauthorised and unnotified leaves will be considered misconduct and may result in disciplinary actions.

    The company has also specified that sick and casual leaves can be availed in terms of hours rather than full days.

      There is a different leave policy for each state. In West Bengal we have sick and wellness leaves for 14 days but at the cost of half pay.

      This is not the case for Pan India. Gurgaon has 18 earned leaves, 7 casual, 7 sick. Also carry over is 30 only.

      Why employees from Uttar Pradesh (Noida) get in total 40 days comparing to employees from Maharashtra (Mumbai/Pune/Nagpur) that get only 26 days.
      It means people leaving in Maharashtra state get 35% less of total leaves than people from Uttar Pradesh state.
      What are the rational reasons of this huge gap of number of leaves days between region in India ?

      Horrible initiative to be honest, Maharashtra has the lowest amount of leaves! No sick leaves nothing, only 18 PTOs and 8 Casual Leaves. Unfair on so many accounts
