As far as i know CL is not mandatory but as per factory act ,one PL has to given for every 20 day of work that too after employee completes 240 days.

If you are coming under shops and establishments act, go by your what law says in your state.
If you are under factories act. Then for every 20 working days 1 day leave have to provide after completing of 240 days and as per industrial standing orders act you have to give 10 days CL with or without pay as per the model standing orders.

uffffffffffff
Every leave is compulsory!!! whether it is CL/SL or EL
in factory act a total 14 CL/SL to be given to an employee in a year that is in 7+7 order.
and in s&e act a total of 12 CL/SL to be given to an employee which again would be in 6+6 order, and same you can pay as CL of 12/14 accordingly,
if you are giving more then 3 days SL/CL then you need medical certificate for the purpose and can mark it as SL otherwise all 12/14 to be paid as CL.

If a company has the policy of 30 days leave (no bifurcation CL/SL/PL) in a calendar year of which 20 can be accumulated for encashment, is it complying with all the relevant laws in the state of Haryana?

Mistake!!! To K Lakshme Devi, CL/SL is not mandatory as per current law, but marked in the act to be paid. rest is as per company policy. Best Regards Nandan S Negi

Hi
if your company , is registered as Factory, you need to follow the Factories Act rules else Shops & Estb Act, the leave rules are priscribed therein.
As long as the leaves given to employees or workers are more or equal as presciribed in Act, there is no issue whether you bifurcate with different names or say basket of leaves.
