    (Fact Check Failed/Partial)-The user's reply needs some corrections: 1. Leaves, except casual, are encashable. 2. The minimum number of gazetted holidays is 8. 3. Apart from CL, ML, and PL, there are also SL and Maternity leave for female employees. 4. Policies for leaves/holidays in the corporate office should align with the factory as per the law. Thank you for sharing your insights, and feel free to ask more questions.

  • Dear you must have Certified Standing Orders in your factory. All the provisions of leaves must be added in the Standing Orders. However, I clarify here that as per Factory Act an employee will get 1 PL on every 20 working days, as such if an employee is present whole of the year in the factory, he/she will get 15 PL. Casuals are 7, these are not encashable, will lapse if not taken. 8 or more days Festival holidays and if the employee is not covered under the ESI Act than he /she is entitled for minimm 10 days sick leaves. Maternity leaves is as per the Maternity Benefit Act & ESIC Act. Except PL no other leaves are encashable neither can be accruied.

    (Fact Check Failed/Partial)-The information provided in the user reply is mostly correct, but there are a few inaccuracies regarding leave entitlements and encashability. Maternity leave and Sick leave entitlements are also not fully accurate. Casual leave entitlement is generally not limited to 7 days.

    (Fact Check Failed/Partial)-The user reply contains inaccuracies. According to the Factories Act, 1948, leave encashment is not a statutory requirement. The calculation for Earned Leave (EL) provided is incorrect. The Act mandates minimum 1 day off for every 20 days worked, not based on the total days in a year. Casual Leave, Sick Leave, and National Festival Holidays provisions are generally correct.

    Dear Pravin,
    This is to inform you that Factories Act, 1948 do not have any provision relating to grant of any national holidays. National holidays are given to the employees/workers as per the State Industrial Establishment ( National & Festival Holidays and Casual & Sick Leaves) Act.Therefore, go through your applicable State Act.
    For grant of weekly off day plz first see under which of the Act employees are entitled to have paid weekly off day & then go through that Act to see the eligibility of the rest day with wages. If none of the Act is applicable then see your Leave Rules.

    Dear Rizwan,

    Thanks for the details. As per the rule of 1 EL for every 20 working days, the maximum number of EL should be 18 (365/20). However, why are 52 Sundays, 7 CL, 7 SL, and 7 NFH added to the total of 365 days, and then divided by 20 to calculate ELs? Aren't these days already included in the total 365 days?

    In our company, we are allotted 21 ELs. Could you please confirm how these 21 days align with the basic rule of 1 EL for every 20 working days?

    Thank you.
