Understanding Leave Policies at Breweries & Distilleries: What Are the Legal Minimums?

Dear Professionals,

Please help me understand the leave policy at Breweries & Distilleries Limited company. Additionally, could you provide information on the minimum PL or EL, CL, and SL that should be offered to employees in accordance with labor laws?

Dear Venkey,

According to labor law, you are to provide Earned Leave (EL) as per Chapter VIII of The Factories Act, 1948. As for Casual Leave (CL) and Sick Leave (SL), we are required to grant these leaves according to your State Industrial Establishment (National, Festival, Casual, and Sick Leaves) Act. To create a leave policy, you may refer to the leave policy attachments shared by various members on different CiteHR forums. When finalizing the leave policy for your firm, please ensure compliance with the minimum statutory leave requirements, including the procedures for granting leaves and accumulation. The leave policy should not contradict the law.
