Dear HR professionals,
We are a company based in Mumbai with around 200 employees. According to the Maharashtra Shops and Establishments Act, employees are entitled to a total of 8 Casual Leaves in addition to the prescribed Paid Leave.
I have a query regarding consolidating all types of leave under one category, Paid Leave (PL), for approximately 30-32 days, instead of maintaining separate categories for PL and CL as outlined in the act. I have heard that many companies adopt this approach. Would combining these leaves cause any issues from the authorities' perspective? I kindly request clarification on this matter.
Warm Regards,
From India, Mumbai

The purposes for which the different leaves can be availed are different. The manner in which these leaves (CL and PL) become due is different. Similarly, the manner in which these leaves can be availed is also different. Moreover, only PL can be carried forward, but the unavailed CL will lapse at the end of the year. Therefore, even though you have more leaves than what is provided under the Act, you are not said to comply with the rules.
