Hi,

As per the Bombay Shops and Establishment Act, there are 21 days of paid leave for which an employee has to work for not less than 240 days during a year (irrespective of his date of commencement). Provided that such leave may be accumulated up to a maximum period of 42 days.

Now, my question is, is it compulsory to provide a leave of 21 days for a year? I have drafted a leave policy stating:

A) 6 days Sick Leave
B) Casual Leave 6 days
C) Paid Leave 15 days

Can I reduce the paid leave to 15 days? I request you to let me know whether the policy drafted holds any sense.

The existing number of total leaves in our company is 27 days.

With Warm Regards,
