FAQ

Casual leave is typically paid, but the exact terms depend on the organisation’s leave policy or applicable labour laws.

Unused casual leave usually lapses at the end of the year and cannot be carried forward or encashed, though policies may vary by organisation.

Employees are generally expected to inform their managers as soon as possible. For planned absences, prior approval is required; for emergencies, intimation on the same day is usually sufficient.
