Also called Medical Leaves (ML), these are provided on the grounds of sickness or in case of accidents.
Sick Leave is another common leave type mandated by the law. As these leaves are prone to misuse, employers usually seek a medical certificate if the number of days of leave exceeds two or three days at a time.
In some states like Delhi, there is a combined entitlement for both CL and SL. Also, some states, like Tripura, allow 50% salary payment for CL/SL instead of full pay.
