Air India's unpaid leave scheme: 350 takers and counting

New Delhi: Air India's leave-without-pay scheme has been taken up by some 350 employees, or about 1 per cent of the airline's work force, since the plan was launched in July 2009.
Sources told Business Line that the number could go up in the near future as several more applications had been received.
The scheme allows a person to go on leave for two to five years.
Almost 70 per cent of the employees who opted for the scheme are from the erstwhile Air India.
The exact quantum of savings for the airline from the scheme was yet to be determined, the sources said. “People have gone on leave at different times and for different periods. Besides, there is a difference in the pay scales of people in Air India and Indian so it will be difficult to put a number on the financial saving,” sources said.
