India Holiday & Carryover Quiz

The correct answer is 12. This means that a member is entitled to 12 days of annual Contingency leave.

The annual Privileged leave entitlement of a member is 14.

A member receives 3.5 privileged leaves on the fourth quarter of the year.

In the LPS professional form, the number of carry over leaves that have already been uploaded can be found under the "Accruals" section. This section likely contains information related to the accumulation and allocation of leaves, including any carry over leaves from previous periods.

A member receives 3 contingency leaves on the third quarter of the year.

Every time an optional public holiday is booked in the LPS, there will be a 1 PL reduction. This means that if someone chooses to take an optional public holiday, they will have 1 PL deducted from their total PL balance. Therefore, the statement "There be a 1 PL reduction for every optional public holiday booked in the LPS" is true.

Contingency Leave is the correct answer because it is a type of leave that is used when a member is unable to report to work due to unforeseen circumstances or emergencies, such as illness. It is different from Sick Leave, which specifically refers to leave taken due to illness. Contingency Leave covers a broader range of reasons for absence, including illness, personal emergencies, or unexpected events. Therefore, it is the most appropriate option given the explanation provided.

The manager is the final approver of the time off in lieu leave in the LPS.

Since the member joins the company on the 1st of July, they will have the remaining months of July, August, September, October, November, December, and January (assuming the year ends in January) to accumulate PL's. Therefore, the member will have a total of 7 PL's for the rest of the year.

Adjusting a leave in a Leave and Pay System (LPS) should not be done solely based on the request of the member alone. It is important to consider various factors such as workload, availability of other team members, and company policies before making adjustments to leave. Decisions regarding leave adjustments should be made in a fair and consistent manner, taking into account the needs of both the member and the organization. Therefore, the statement that it is alright to adjust a leave in LPS with the request of the member alone is false.

The maximum CL's that could be carried over is not 7 days.

It is necessary to inform the member when changes are made in his/her records by his/her request. This is important for transparency and to ensure that the member is aware of any modifications made to their information. Failing to inform the member can lead to confusion and mistrust in the organization's handling of their records.

The encashment of the PL will happen only once a year, and according to the given options, it will occur in January.

The explanation for the given correct answer is that if the maximum carry over days for PL (Paid Leave) is 30, it means that any PL days exceeding this limit will not be carried forward to the next period and will be encashed instead. Therefore, the statement "the exceeding PL's will be encashed" is true.

The maximum PL's that could be carried over is 7. This means that employees who have already rendered 1 year of service can carry over a maximum of 7 paid leaves to the next year.

The statement is true because when updating carry over leaves in the Leave Planning System (LPS), a bulk upload is used. This means that instead of manually entering each individual leave, a large amount of leave data is uploaded all at once. This method is more efficient and saves time compared to inputting each leave separately.

The statement "There is no expiration for the carryover leaves for PL" means that the accrued or unused paid leave (PL) from one year can be carried over to the next year without any time limit or expiration date. This implies that employees can accumulate their unused PL and use it at a later time, providing flexibility and ensuring that their earned leave does not go to waste.

The statement is false because there is no requirement to avail at least 6 days of CL (Casual Leave) in a year for carry forward. The carry forward policy may vary depending on the company's rules and regulations. Some companies may allow employees to carry forward unused CL, while others may not have any carry forward policy at all. Therefore, the statement is incorrect.

The maximum PL days carried over couldn't exceed 30 days. This means that if an employee has any remaining paid leave days from the previous year, they can carry over a maximum of 30 days into the next year. Any additional unused leave days beyond 30 will be forfeited.

Member X started working at CGI on January 5, 2013. By December 31, 2013, they have accumulated a total of 9 Paid Leaves (PLs). Since Member X has not completed one year of service by the end of 2013, they will have 9 days of PLs carried over to the next year, 2014. Therefore, the statement "Member X will have a total of 9 days carried over to 2014 since Member X has not yet rendered 1 year of service" is true.
