Hi Seniors,
I work for a health care BPO in Chennai. Our leave policy is stringent as we only have 12 days of CL in addition to 10 days of declared national holidays. Any CL taken before or after a weekend or any declared holiday is considered as LOP for all the days, including the weekend or declared holiday. There are no sick leave, PL, EL, etc.
Can we continue with such a policy? Is it correct to have such a policy? What should be the leaves as per acts?
Kindly enlighten on this.
Regards,

You need to follow the Tamil Nadu Shop and Establishment Act. The act requires you to give 12 days of CL, 12 days of Sick Leave, and 12 days of PL (after completion of 1 year of work). There is also a provision for carry forward of the leave.
You are required under the rules to give time off for the 3 national holidays (26 Jan, 15 August, 2 Oct) and 5 additional days in consultation with workers. This is the minimum requirement, so you are already in violation of the law.
Furthermore, if anyone takes leave (or is absent) before or after the holiday, it cannot be counted as paid leave. However, if the employee takes leave both before and after the holiday, the holiday will be counted as leave.

Dear Saswata,
Instead of 03 National Paid Holidays, as mentioned in your post on 29th Dec '14, it should be 04 National Paid Holidays. The 4th one is 1st May (i.e. Labour Day). Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Hi,
As per the Tamil Nadu Industrial Establishment National and Festival Holidays Act 1958 and Rules 1959, only three national holidays are provided for. May 1, or Labour Day, is not listed. Actually, it's not considered a national holiday. I think the same rule applies to establishments.

Like many other states, in Tamil Nadu also May 1st is a national holiday. Madhu.T.K

Agreed with experts/members. BPO are covered by Shops and Commercial Establishment Act and establishment can not offer inferior benefit but can offer superior benefit

As per the Tamil nadu national and festival holidays act, 1st may is not a national or even compulsory holiday
