(1) During the first year of service a workman may be allowed not more than two days’ casual leave for every three month of service.
(2) The unavailed casual leave shall lapse at the end of the calendar year. If any casual leave due is refused by the employer in his own interest the worker shall be compensated by grant of casual leave on any other day or by payment of the average daily wages for that day.
(3) The causal leave shall not be combined with any kind of leave except with the express permission of the employer.
(4) Except for emergent reasons, casual leave shall not be asked or allowed for more than two days at a time.
(5) An application for casual leave shall be made two days in advance to the management concerned and permission obtained before hand:
Provided that in case of urgency or death or serious illness in the family such application can be made immediately on resuming duty, giving cogent reason for inability to obtain prior permission.
(6) If a substantial number of workers apply for casual leave in a concerned manner and for identical period and the employer has reasons to believe that the leave has been applied for with an intention to affect the working of the establishment adversely, the employee may reject the application and the worker shall not be entitled to claim any compensation for leave thus refused:
Provided further that a worker may apply for leave thus rejected afresh at any other time during the year and/such application may then be considered by the employer in the normal course.
