On contract role, employees can get only paid sick leave. 1 sick leave each month which gets lapsed upon 1 year even if the contract is renewed incase.

Team,

Yes contract employee eligible for no my sick leave I.e. 1. Leave pee month.

If the company policy doesn’t support this they did not eligible for the same. Some co.alnies as the contractor to take volunteer sick leave at the end of the year I.e. December (as USA companies holidays season on account of Christmas)

Hi Team,

If we hire a consultant and not a contract employee then also the same leave structure will be applicable?

i.e He/She will be providing us the consultancy for a period of 11/12 months.

Please guide.

Thank you

Hi
The sandwich rule is applicable to all the leaves. However, it also depends on the organization like they want to apply to all leave type or only specific leave.

Hope you are referring to Fixed term contract (FTC).

The code on social security has come up with a definition (new codes are not yet implemented but it will eventually)

Also sharing a detailed paper by Legal Firm, Nishith Desai Associates on FTC.

So once the new codes are in place, FTCs are also eligible for same set of benefits -i.e people working in similar roles irrespectrive of FTC or Permanent.

So suggest to seek expert legal advice on the topic before hiring.
