Leave Policy As Per The Statutory Guidelines

Hello All
I am working in a startup pharma company's HR department and am pretty new to HR/IR rules and regulations.
Need your guidance to understand how to apply a leave policy for our company. We have office staff of about 100 and sales staff of about 1000 within India.
Your advise/suggestions are highly appreciated.
thanks
Shilpa

Dear hilpa,
Just check whether the company is enrolled under Shops & estblishment act & work according to the law of S&E act likewise.
You will get the entitlement of employees leave from there.

Dear Shilpa,
Sumiksha is right. Please find out under which labour statute your Co. is registered. If it is the Shops Act, then the leave ruled provided under the same will prevail. If you also have a Plant then the Factories Act will apply.
The leave rules contained in both the Labour Laws are very easy to understand. Make that small effort of reading both the Acts and you will arrive at the answer you are seeking.

Dear Priti,
For preparing leave policy you can also go through your State applicable Shops & Commercial Establishment Act.

Hi Shilpa
Suggest you to prepare leave rules common for office and factory for easy administration. Suggest also to make a survey on leave structures being followed in other similar pharma companies in your area. By the way, where are you working .... in B'lore?
sure

That's the spirit. Read the Act & Rules and I will be most willing to help and guide you, should you require any such help anytime.
Cheers!!!

Dear Priti,
Purchase the bare Act on Shops & Establishment Act of your State from any shop keeper or inquire from him the name of the book-seller who is having law books.

Mr. Khola beat me to it. Yes, as advised by him, go to any shop which sells Legal Books. Ask the shokeeper for the Shops & Establishments Act applicabe to your State. Then designing a Leave Policy will be very easy.
Draft a Policy and I will help you fine tune it (If required) for you.
