Do the consulting Doctors who are residential have earned/privilege leave?

Ours is a multi speciality hospital. Our consultants are residential and get good remunerations (more than 350k). They are all enjoying holidays and leaves that are given to group C & D and demand for more leaves. What law says about this.

Dear <Fernandesherrick@Gmail.Com>
It appears that you have not framed a policy on employee leave. First frame the policy. Secondly, while framing the policy, please note that it has to conform to the provisions of Karnataka Shops and Establishment Rules, 1963. As the healthcare industry is a part of the service industry, these rules are applicable to your company.
As far as deciding the number of days of leave for the resident doctors is concerned, I recommend some senior authority taking the doctors into confidence and then roll out the policy. The proactive disclosure of the contents of the policy will help to place doctors and the administration on equal footing and this will avoid the backlash of any kind from the doctors.
Thanks,
