Hi,
I just wanted to know, as per the Shops and Establishments Act, earned leave should be counted from the date of joining. It should be allowed to be taken only after the employee gets confirmed, or they are counted from the date of confirmation.
Thank you.

Dear Member,
According to the applicable Punjab Shops Act of 1958, as it applies to the state of Haryana, we are required to consider the date of joining for the calculation of earned leaves. Earned leaves are allowed after the close of the year (April to March).

Normally, earned leave will become due after 12 months of joining. However, it is acceptable if you credit it uniformly for all employees on the 1st of January proportionate to the days worked in the preceding year by the new employees. There is no law that stipulates leave can only be granted after confirmation. If that were the case, I am concerned whether any employer would confirm any employee.

The general rule of "Earned Leave" is calculated at the end of Calendar Year as per the norms of the establishment or as per the state rule if not having a separate leave policy, or 1 day of leave per 20 working days from the date of employment. The clause of leave narrated in the appointment contract with other conditions by the employer. So, nothing can be spelled out in the matter; rather, the decision of the employer is final.

Earned leave will become due after 180 DAYS of joining whether it is confirmed or not. Normally, employer avoids confirm to any employee. RAJIV JAIN
