__________________________________________________ _____________________
So it is saying 12 days leave with pay. Hence you cannot term it as CL and SL. you should term it as PL. for your company, giving only 12 days PL is mandatory as per the TN Shops and Establishment Act. Apart from that, there should be one weekly off and other holidays as per National Holidays and Festivals Act.
I hope I am able to clear your doubt.

Hi,
Our Company H.O is in Kolkata & we have one branch in Maharashtra as well. Please let me know if we can follow the same Leave procedure which is applicable to West Bengal.
In Maharashtra we have 17 leaves. There is no bifurcation for PL, CL & SL. 17 days leaves can be used at any time through out the year. Other than this we provide 13 holidays.
We provide 6 PL during probation period of 6 months but it cannot be clubbed together. Employee has to use once in a month.
Please let me know if this is correct as per Maharashtra state.

Hi Govind,
Thanks for the prompt response. Our company is small Pvt Ltd company with near about 300 employees all over India & 50+ at Maharashtra. We wanted to give a month off to the employees hence it we decided to give 13 holidays & 17 PL.
There is no CL/SL. Employees cannot en cash the PL. We carry forward only max of 5 leaves to the next year & rest gets lapsed. Our Leave cycle is from Jan to December.
Please help me out to understand if it is mandatory to give 21 leaves or we can adjust it with the holidays. Also as per your previous reply there is no compulsion for SL & CL in Maharashtra.

Hi
In Maharashtra, SL and CL is not mandatory but you have to pay 1 PL for each 20 days worked so total minimum 21 PL in a year.
further, Leave encashment is mandatory. I suggest, better you bifurcate the leave gradewise into encashable and non encashable leave. If any employee complaint it to BMC (Municipal Corporation) that will be problem for the company (Normally it does not happen)
You cannot adjust PL to holiday. Since you already have 17 PL, I suggest increase it to 21 and reduce your holidays to 09. so you will have balance of the total holidays and leave.
Encourage your employee to take planned leave and to have proper work life balance in positive manner so you need not to pay lot of money for encashment and it will have positive impact too.
p.s.: The above mentioned rule is only for Maharashtra.
As per the section 11 of the West Bengal Shops and Establishment Act 1963, you need to provide 13 PL (full paid leave), 10 CL thats too full paid = total 23 paid leaves and 14 days half paid sick leave (on obtaining medical certificate) is mandatory so you need to plan it accordingly.
Read the excerpts
"11. Leave .- A person employed in a shop or an establishment shall be entitled--
(a) for every completed year of continuous service, to privilege leave on full pay for fourteen days,
(b) in every year, to sick leave on half pay for fourteen days on medical certificate obtained from a medical practitioner registered under the Bengal Medical Act, 1914 or any other law for the time being in force,
(c) in every year, to casual leave on full pay for ten days, and

I hope I have clear your doubt, if you need any further details, please feel free to write.

Dear All,
I am working in a reputed Construction Industry since last December'11 and am entrusted to frame a Leave Policy for my Organisation.Our Earlier Policy was: CL-2Days & EL- 18 days on completion of 240 working days.
I have introduced SL-6Days & Trainee Leave-6 days .
Ealier our practice was that a person can avail all the CL & EL all at a time without any interval,whereas i have suggested that only two days CL at a strech and EL can't be clubbed with CL and has to be atleast a day interval in between.
Kindly suggest me the best possible option to frame out the Policy.
