The classification of leave days (casual leave vs. earned leave) typically depends on the specific policies of your organization. However, I can provide some general guidance based on common practices:
1. **Single-Day Leave Around a Holiday:** - If a holiday falls on a Tuesday or Friday, and you take leave on the preceding or following workday (Monday or Saturday), this is often considered as **one day of casual leave**. In many organizations, casual leave is generally counted per day, regardless of whether it's taken before or after a holiday.
2. **Consecutive Days of Leave:** - If you take leave on both Monday and Tuesday, this is usually considered as **two days of casual leave**. Again, casual leave is typically counted per day of absence.
3. **Earned Leave (EL) Consideration:** - Earned leave (EL), also known as privilege leave or annual leave, is usually taken for longer durations, such as multiple days at a stretch. EL is often granted based on accumulated leave entitlement and is deducted on a per-day basis even for multiple days.
To summarize: - **Casual Leave:** Generally counted per day, regardless of whether taken before or after a holiday. - **Earned Leave (EL):** Usually taken for longer durations and deducted on a per-day basis for each day of absence.
It's important to refer to your organization's specific leave policy for exact details as policies can vary. If there is any ambiguity, consulting with your HR department can provide clarification based on your company's specific rules and practices.
