Sandwich leave policy often confuses employees and causes sudden leave deductions. Many people take leave around public holidays or weekends to enjoy a longer break. It feels natural to think that only the leave day counts. But in many companies, the holiday before and after your leave also gets added to the total.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
