I am working as an HR executive in a software company in Bangalore. It's a startup company, and the director wants me to formulate a leave policy. I want to know how many CL, SL, and EL I can provide to my employees and what the eligibility criteria are to avail these leaves. Also, please let me know about maternity leave and the eligibility criteria for it.
My boss doesn't want to provide more leaves, so please inform me about the minimum and maximum number as well.
Thanks,

Are you looking for the leave policy as per the industry or as per the act?
Leave Policy Under the Shops & Commercial Establishments Act
As per the statutory act under the Shops & Commercial Establishments Act, every employee is eligible for 1 earned leave (EL) for every 20 days he/she works in a calendar period. This may amount to 14 EL per calendar year. Casual leave (CL) is 10 per annum, but if management wishes, more leaves can be offered. There is no mandate for sick leave (SL), but some organizations do offer it.
Let me know if you need more information or clarification on the leave policies.
