Privilege Leave Calculation

Please help me to explain the calculation of Privilege Leaves.

A) Days to Consider in PL Calculation

1. Number of days work performed
2. Authorized leave/Maternity leave
3. Lockout & Legal strikes
4. Weekly off/Compensatory off
5. Leave with wages enjoyed (PL)
6. Sick Leave & Accident Leave
7. Casual Leave
8. Paid Holidays

B) Days to Exclude from PL Calculation

Which days do we have to exclude from PL calculation?

Thanks & Regards,
