New HR Executive in Gujarat: How Do I Navigate Our Company's Leave Policy?

I have joined the company as an HR Executive. First of all, I want to know about the leave policy rules and regulations. My company is a service-based company in Gujarat.

Please do the needful in this matter.

Thanks & Regards

Factory Act EL/CL Rules

As per the Factory Act EL/CL rules:

- **Earned Leave (EL):** For every 20 actual working days, you will earn one earned leave. This results in approximately 15 earned leaves in a year. The calculation is as follows: One year = 365 days - 52 weekly offs - 8 holidays = 305 days. Therefore, 305 days/20 = approximately 15 EL in a year.

- **Casual Leave (CL):** According to the Factory Act, the number of casual leaves is 7 in a year. You can avail of 2 leaves on a quarterly basis.

Thanks,

The leave policy has to be framed as per the company's guidelines. As you have clearly mentioned that you are in the service industry located in Gujarat, please refer to the Shop and Establishment Act of Gujarat, where the number of leaves is clearly defined.

What about SL? If any employee leaves the organization, what percentage of their earned leave is given?
