Contract Employee Leave

Hi,
I need some suggestions to restructure my company's leave policy.
In our company all confirmed employees are entitled to get 30 days of earned leave. But we have some contract employees also who are there for more than one year.
My question is, are they entitled to get leave? If yes then how many?
My company is under Bombay shop & Establishment act policy.
With Best Regards,
Nilanjana.

Dear Sir
The contract labour also eligible for leave benefit like as direct employee please go throw to Bombay Shop and Establishment act, there is mentioned "employee" or ''worker'' means contract or direct employee

In Bombay shop and establishment Act, the rules are specified. You can refer the Act and formulate leave policies based on the Act guidelines.

Hello,
Are the employees on contrat in a contract with the company? In that case what all is provided in the contract will apply thought one must know that you cannot contract out of law! Therefore you will have to treat them as regular employees for the purposes of all compliances for the duration of the contract originally agreed to or extended from time to time.
If these employees are in the nature of "labour provided by a contractor" then first the Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act will apply. There are substantive provisions that are obligatory for the contractor and the principal employer.
If you have further sppecific querries, frame these and shoot!

Dear All,
I have joined recently as an HR-Generalist with an NGO and in the process of framing policies for all it staff. Since it is an NGO, we have most of them under the contract banner and they either work part-time or full time. My queries are as follows:
Can a contract employee continue as a contract staff thru the years
How much leave is entitled for them
