Navigating Maharashtra Labor Laws: How Should Our New Hospital Handle Leave Policies?

Understanding Maharashtra Labor Laws for Leave Policies

Maharashtra labor laws regarding CL (Casual Leave), PL (Privilege Leave), PH (Public Holidays), and SL (Sick Leave) are crucial to understand, especially for a new hospital looking to implement a leave policy and other policy manuals. Could you please provide information on the minimum compulsory leaves that an employee is eligible for during the probation period and after confirmation? Additionally, I would appreciate guidance on the maternity leave policy.

Thank you.

Any person employed continuously for 240 days a year or otherwise is eligible for 21 days of leave. Such leave may be accumulated up to a maximum period of forty-two days.

Any person employed for less than 3 months in a year is eligible for leave every 60 days, with a maximum of 5 days of leave. Paid holidays, as declared by Maharashtra, entitle every employee to a holiday irrespective of the period of employment. He or she is entitled to a holiday on 26th January, 1st May, 15th August, and 2nd October every year.
