Dear Somashekahr,

First, clarify whether your unit is covered under The Factories Act, 1948, or the State Shops Act.

If your establishment is covered under the Factories Act, you have to give one day of leave for every working day. It is not necessary to distribute it among Casual Leave (CL), Sick Leave (SL), and Privilege Leave (PL); instead, you can cover it as only Leave.

Additionally, there is a prefix and suffix rule that states the weekly off and the Paid Holiday will be calculated as leave if you take it in between two paid leaves. The same rule applies to absenteeism.

Can you let us know the act that specifies this prefix or suffix rule? Subramaniam P G 9840096048

Hi,

Kindly refer to sections 78 to 84 of the leave rules of the Factories Act. It doesn't mention CL and SL types of leave; it covers only PL under the following conditions: If any employee joins on or before the 1st of January of any year, they are entitled to one day of leave for every 20 days worked if they are an adult (more than 18 years old) and one day of leave for every 15 days if they are a young person (less than 18 years old). PL can be availed only after one year of service as per the act.

Dear All,

Thank you for providing inputs. Our organization is covered under the Shops & Establishments Act, and we have a 5-day working week. In this scenario, as per the Establishment Act, there are 12 days of leave entitlement and Paid Leave (PL) - one leave every 20 working days. If the management announces only 12 days of leave altogether, are there any implications?

Dear Somashekhar,

You have taken so much time in explaining the applicability of this Act. Now, you may review the Shops Act of your state for the grant of different types of leaves to be allowed to the employees.

Dear Somashekhar, For shops and establishments, leaves may vary from state to state. So, its important to look into the S & E act of the state your company is operating in.
