If your establishment is covered under the Factories Act, leave shall be granted at one leave for every 20 days worked. If it is covered under the Shops and Establishments Act, leave prescribed under the Act has to be given to eligible employees.

I have a specific question regarding companies registered under the Delhi Shops and Establishment Act. It is clear that an employee is to be given 15 PL.

My question is if the employees are to be credited with PL after every four months even in the first year of joining, or they become eligible for PL after completion of one year with the company.

Thanks

Hi,

Crediting of leaves against the employees' accounts takes place either at the time of joining [CL and SL], while the Earned/Privilege leaves are credited after completion of one year of service. If someone joins in the middle of the year, a pro-rata basis is taken into account for the first two, while EL may be proportioned at the end of the year and credited accordingly. Not sure how or why a four-month period has come into the picture.

Thanks and Regards

There is no question of giving minimum leaves, i.e., reducing leaves below statutory provisions. You can provide better benefits than what is mandated by law, but not lower. Doing so would be illegal. Please understand that statutory provisions cannot be implemented at the whims of employers but are bound by rules. Employers need to be enlightened about the consequences of not following these provisions.

Your observation is correct; employees are entitled to Privilege Leave (PL) after every four months. As per the Delhi Shops Act, every person employed in an establishment shall be entitled, after every twelve months of continuous employment, to privilege leave for a total period of not less than fifteen days.

Provided that:
(i) An employee who has completed a period of four months in continuous employment shall be entitled to not less than five days of privilege leave for every such completed period.

I recommend referring to https://www.stacowiki.in/en/ for accurate information and regulatory updates.

Hi Mamta,

Please read the attached Act for your requirements. The entitlement of leave does not change according to whether one is a proprietor or not. Every organization is classified into various categories depending on the type of business, operations, or production activities they conduct. They can be broadly classified as follows:

1. Shops & Commercial Establishments - where some business activities are conducted
2. Factories - where manufacturing/production and processing, etc., take place
3. Industry & Mines - production and extraction activities
4. Educational Institutions - schools, colleges, institutions
5. Societies/Clubs & Trusts - art, recreational, charity, cultural activities
6. Hospitals and so on - health and family welfare.

Different acts and rules are applicable depending on their core activities. The above businesses are operated either by individuals (proprietors), partners (partnerships), or groups of people, known as Associations of Persons (companies, societies/clubs/trusts, institutions). These are classified as such, and the applicable Acts and rules must be followed.

Dear Mamta,

Statutes lay down minimum conditions that are mandatory, and if not followed, will violate legal provisions, entailing punitive action.

As far as leave entitlement under the Delhi Shops Act is concerned, one must understand that the calendar year is the basis for all types of leave entitlements such as EL, CL, and SL.

There is a distinctive meaning to leave entitlement and leave availing. Different periods for availing leave are set, even though a particular type of leave is entitled and credited to the account. For example, SL or CL can be availed upon confirmation of service only, but PL/EL for the first time after joining can be availed after completion of one year's service, even though it is credited every five months.

Hello.

I need clarification on the Shop and Establishment Act of Tamil Nadu, specifically regarding holidays.

My organization is an IT service provider (application development). We have 12 days of EL, 6 days of SL, and 6 days of CL. 1 day of EL is credited every month, and 0.5 days every month for CL and SL. Is this an acceptable practice? From my understanding, employees should get a minimum of 12 days of EL, CL, and SL per annum. Am I right?

My assumption is that as per the act, a maximum of 12 days is given for CL and SL, not a minimum. Hence, my organization is following that practice.

Please guide me on this.

Dear Mr. Kumar,

Thank you for the document. However, it doesn't contain details for my query. I have the Shop and Establishment Act TN document with me and have discussed with my HR about the non-compliance to the act. I want to get clarification on my understanding.

Since this violation has been ongoing for many years, I would like to know how to correct this and who is responsible for this from the government.

Dear Colleague,

The quantum and eligibility for EL and other types of leave are laid down in the TN Shop Act/Rules. It is clarified that the law lays down minimum conditions and not maximum as you seem to believe.

Dear Ravi,

Acts and Rules are made to maintain a certain level of uniformity and promote social welfare for employees. Unfortunately, many employers choose to disregard them. Wherever non-compliance is found, the designated authorities, as per the Rules established by the respective states, should investigate and take appropriate action as outlined in the Act/Rules. Therefore, affected or aggrieved employees should either inform their employers or file a complaint with the authorities. There are punishments and penalties in place for not adhering to the provisions of the Act. It is important to address these issues with your employer to rectify any wrongdoing; otherwise, they will have to face the consequences.

Thank you for your reply.

We are a Mumbai-based IT company with a five-day working week and offer 12 leaves in addition to 12 festival holidays. We are currently reconsidering our existing policy in line with the Bombay Shop Establishment amendments. Is it mandatory to provide 18 leaves? Currently, we only offer 12 leaves per month and one leave as a sandwich leave.

We are also contemplating adding five sick leaves along with the sandwich policy. Are there any specific rules or acts that govern the number of work-from-home days, or is it at the discretion of the employer?

Your input on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Mamtakumari,

As far as I know, the IT/ITES industry is covered under the Shops & Commercial Estts Acts of the respective states. Therefore, units within Maharashtra state are no exception. It's fair enough if you would fall in line with the applicable law, specifically the Shops & Estt. Act. I wouldn't suggest copying and pasting rules for your company from other employers. You won't be spared if and when you are prosecuted for violations. You can't justify wrongdoing with another wrong. Therefore, it is advisable to verbatim follow the provisions of the Shops & Comml. Estts Act, not just for leave rules but also for other aspects provided therein.

Now for people living in Denver and affected by bad credit, availing loans is easy. Bad credit loans do not require any guarantors. In most cases, lenders refuse to give loans to people with poor credit history. However, the application of the borrower is submitted to many lenders, and there are chances that some lender might agree. The interest rate is usually based on the current financial conditions and behavior of the person.

In such cases, it is best to take <a href="http://www.coloradoloansnearme.com">Guaranteed payday loans</a> from a licensed credit broker because they have a better chance of getting you the finance you need, even if your credit rating is badly shaken up.
