1. If any company do not provide any leave throughout the year to employees and pay the leave salary once in a year, is that ok? If an employer deduct the absenteeism on every month then is it mandatory to pay the the leave salary?
2. if any employer do not provide leave (other than weekly off and public holidays) to probationers for first 6 months of joining, then after completion of probation period are the employees eligible for leave of their probation period as leave salary for that period?
3. what is the ideal time for paying leave salary amount to employees? April or January or any time of the year?

I do not think it is mandatory for the employer to pay wages for the lapsed leave at the end of the year. However, no employer can restrict any employee to avail his leave as entitled to. Only thing is that the authority to sanction the leave to an employee is vested with the employer. Accordingly, the employer can sanction the applied leave of an employee depending upon the exigencies of work or considering the genuinity of the reason for the leave sought for. If an employer decides to pay wages for the lapsed leave, it can be done either forth week of January or in February of every year, as the it is being availed by an employee during the calander year.
