Dear Sir,
From above it appears that your factory is located at Mumbai. The Factories 1948 and Mharashtra Factories Rules framed there under are applicable. Under the defination 'Workman' menas every person who is engaged in the factory whether he is permant, casual, temporary, contract labor, apprentice, trainnee, badali etc to do the work of skilled, semiskilled or unskilled , clerical, supervisory or managerial nature comes within the perview of the defination. Under the provision of the act every workman who who works for 20 days or more will be entiled for one day leave. A workman who works for more than 240 days in a calander year and continues to be in employment in next year is entitled for 1 day leave for every 20 days of work performed. The workman who resignes or quits or is discharged or dismissed from the service is entitled to leave wages for his unavailed leave. For this please refere to the provisions of the act. If you need more clarification you may please contact me on cell 9890752690.
Hope this will solve your problem.
