Hi fishes, I have recently joined HSBC and found this weird concept that I have to use up my 34 leaves to apply on mandatory holidays. I have no choice not to choose to apply for leaves. Isn't it like a weird system? Then basically you are getting only 23 leaves per year. After this, I see people still have remaining leaves which is strange. Is there any benefit to this I am not seeing? HSBC India HSBC Hsbc Software Development Ind Pvt Ltd

As service based company employee who worked on election holiday and worked on 1st Jan I can't understand what's written in this post. I never seen 34 leaves in my life. I am assuming it's 3 4 leaves

Welcome. Even i am surprised at this. One week with the firm. No clarity on this yet.

Plus 10 sick leaves some service based companies like infosys doesn't even have them.. and you can get to choose which holiday you want to apply the leave else you can work on that day

Because when I asked someone, they mentioned I have to apply for leave on all those 11 days and not choose to work on them. Is it different for EDPI?

How much is the salary at HSBC for data analyst ?

Even we have the same in the current organization. It basically gives employee flexibility to chose to work on a national holiday or a public holiday and use the leave elsewhere for a personal time off. My only thought here is, some companies do not have mandatory cooling period, employee well being time off or other good policies that have been adopted in the west, the only great piece that is adapted is the flexible leave policy plan and no employee friendly labour policy provides a governance to these gaps.

It doesn't give me any sort of flexibility as you mentioned because according to the policies, I will have to use up my leaves on all these holidays. I cannot choose to work on any of those days

Looks strange

Everywhere people get only 21 leaves and 10 national holidays. You are privileged tobhave 3 more
