Leave Policy [Thread 452712]

Hi,
In my organisation the existing leave policy has 18-PL/EL, 6- SL and 6-CL.
We have a pan India presence and auditors have pointed out we need to have a compliant leave policy, now the issues is
1.If we follow the state wise shop and estabhish acts - our leave policies will be varied , Administratively it will be challenging to manage in the absence of any software.
2. If we do not follow the state rules how can we be 100% compliant .
Wanted to know if we want a single leave policy and still be compliant what is the best configuration of leaves.

Dear Svnema,
Can u give a small information whether your company standing ordered is approved one or u r company is following Modal Standing order.
secondly If u will go through any act whether it is Mining, Shops& establishment, Factory Act statutorily only EL leave is defined. Rest CL, SL are not defined in any Act.
Lot of Auditors of many firms say lot of things So before changing any policy go through Act.
Thanks/Regards

Hi Mr. Rath ,Thanks. Not all but shop and estabhishment acts do mention sick leave , check Bengal shop and establishment act or kerala shop & establishment act.
Though i will check the standing order status but pls help understand what is the connect.

Dear SV,
Thanks for the information i will definitely go through both the states shops & establishment act.
Talking about Standing Order , IF your company having a certified standing order by RLC or DLC of your place then in that standing order approved leave policies are clearly defined.
Giving more benefit to an employee is legally no where any problem if management willing to bear extra cost.
Thanks/Regards
