Hello,
I am a school teacher in a private school (which owns a big chain of schools india). They have a weird leave policy, if you are not present in last working day before vacation, or first workign day after vacation - you will not get salary for entire vacatio period.
Now due to a family emergency, I have to leave 3 days before school closure of summer vacation - and because of that I will lose my 1.5 month salary. I am ready to go 3 days loss of pay (though I have penndig leaves)... but management is not ready to listen. Please note that summer vacation is kind of earned leave for a teacher for entire year of work.
My question is:
a) Does private companies have right to make such weird rules.
b) Can such rules be challenged in courts?
In my opinion, it is an employee right to avail leaves and timing of leaves should not come with such a huge penalty.
Please help.
