Planning Annual Leave: How Does Karnataka's Law Guide Sick and Casual Days?

Hi all,

Can you please help me out with your suggestions if we need to plan sick leave/casual leave for 12 days annually (sick leave 7 days and casual leave 5 days)? Is there any provision for this under The Karnataka Shops & Commercial Establishments Act, 1961?

Regards,

Hi,

As far as I know, the provision states that there are 12 days of sick leave and earned leave will be accrued at a rate of 1 day for every 20 days worked, which can be accumulated up to 40 days. There is no provision for casual leave, but if you wish to provide it, you may do so above and beyond the limit.

Dear Mr. Sattish Kumar,

Please peruse The Karnataka Shops & Commercial Establishments Act with specific reference to "Leave" - Accident Cum Sick leave 12 days per Calendar Year.
