Leave Entitlements for Factory Workers in Tamil Nadu
I request you to guide me about the number of leaves entitled for factory workers in Tamil Nadu as per the Factory Act regarding casual leave. I am aware that there is no separate provision for sick leave for factories, and it should fall under casual leave only. Earned leave or privilege leave should not be allowed in the first calendar year for any worker, and they must complete 240 days of work for this provision. For every 20 days of work completed, the worker will be entitled to one day of leave. Can only one day be considered as privilege leave? I have heard that for it to be considered privilege leave, it must be a continuous 3-day leave.
Please advise me if I am mistaken and also clarify my doubts. If not mentioned in the law, what practices are typically used in factories?
Thank you in advance.
