Yes, you can do monthly grant.
However suggest to continue yearly grant for SL. To further streamline you could put a clause of Medical Certificate when an employee exercises more than ‘x’ days of Sick Leave in a single instance.

Most of the states have defined minimum leave requirements. Common is for every 20 employee working days 1 Leave has to be granted to the employee. Keeping that clause in mind it is better to have one leave type and grant it on a monthly basis.

Please check your applicable law before taking a decision.
