Dear Swati,

According to the Delhi Shops and Establishment Act, every person employed in an establishment shall be entitled to:

(a) after every twelve months' continuous employment, to privilege leave for a total period of not less than fifteen days;
(b) in every year, to sickness or casual leave for a total period of not less than twelve days;

Provided that:
(i) an employee who has completed a period of four months in continuous employment shall be entitled to not less than five days of privilege leave for every such completed period; and
(ii) an employee who has completed a period of one month in continuous employment shall be entitled to not less than one day's casual leave for every month.

Furthermore, a watchman or caretaker who has completed a period of twelve months in continuous employment and to whom the provisions of Sections 8, 10, 11, 13, and 17 do not apply by virtue of an exemption granted under Section 4 shall be entitled to not less than thirty days' privilege leave.

(i) Privilege leave to which an employee is entitled under clause (a) of sub-section (1) or under any such law, contract, custom, or usage, award, settlement, or agreement as referred to in Section 3, or any part of such leave, if not availed of by the employee, shall be added to the privilege leave for any succeeding period to which the employee is entitled. However, the total period of accumulated privilege leave shall not exceed three times the period of privilege leave to which the employee is entitled after every twelve months' employment.

(ii) Leave admissible under clause (b) of sub-section (1) shall not be accumulated.

If an employee entitled to leave under clause (a) of sub-section (1) of this section is discharged by their employer before being allowed the leave, or if, having applied for and been refused the leave, the employee quits their employment before being allowed the leave, the employer shall pay them full wages for the period of leave due to them.

I am working in a partnership firm. They provide 27 days of leave in a year, but if anyone takes more leave, the salary will be deducted. However, if somebody has 7 days of leave left, they are forfeited. There is no provision for leave encashment. Please provide any rule that mandates leave encashment for all establishments.

Fellow members,

A close reading of Section 22 indicates the following useful points:

i. MAXIMUM leave accumulation of PL cannot exceed 45 days

ii. There is NO MINIMUM limit for PL accumulation

iii. The encashment of PL is mandatory only when the employee departs from the company either by way of termination, retirement, or resignation. Yearly encashment is not prescribed by law.
