Hi Lancy

The Shops Act is a State enactment and the Shops Acts of some states like Bombay Shops and Establishments Act provide for only annual leave but not CL or SL while others may provide for CL and SL. Therefore you have to follow the Shops Act of your State.

So far as annual leave is concerned, it is admissible under Bombay Shops Act ( given as an example) and Factories Act are as under.

Annual leave under Bombay Shops Act :

1) Employees who worked for 240 days or more in a calendar year are entitled to leave up to 21 days in a calendar year.

2) Subject to point (1) above, employees who worked for not less than three months in any year are entitled to leave at the rate of 5 days for every 60 days of service.

Leave un-availed or refused can be accumulated and carried forward subject to the maximum of 42days

Annual leave u/Factories Act

1) Adult workers who worked for 240 days in a calendar year are entitled to leave at the rate of one day for 20 days of work.

Leave un-availed or refused can be accumulated and carried forward subject to the maximum of 30days in case of adult and 40days in case of child.
