Applicability of Shops & Establishment Act on Company offices

I want to clarify Applicability of Shops & Establishment Act on offices/Corporate offices of Companies already registered under Company Law (Pvt. Ltd. or Ltd.) established in the commercial buildings.
I have noticed some offices are covered under this Act but some are not based on legal consultants advise and interpretation of the Act.
Any Labour Law expert can tell the actual position. If it is not coverable than which Leave and other provisions mentioned in this Act under what legislations shall be applicable to such corporate offices ?

Dear Sandeep,

The shop & establishment act is applicable to every office shop where commercial activities are carried on even on employing one employee.

Your Office /Corporate office will be covered under the Shop & Establishmet Act. and the provision of leave and other rules shall be applicable, even your company is registered under companies Act.
