Leave Policy for nightshift BPO in Ahmedabad, Gujarat

Hello Everyone,

can anyone share the rules regarding the leaves. What type of leave can we provide to employee in a accounting year, and how many days we can provide.

Currently, company is only providing total of 12 leaves per year. Is it legal?

Our company is located in Ahmedabad, Gujarat and company works as a BPO.

Also our company is operating in a nightshift so are there any rules regarding that we have to keep in mind?

Hi,

Being a BPO you need to follow leave rules of Shops and Establishment Act of your State.

Lakshmi Narayanan sir thank you for your answer but I am little bit confused about Earned Leave. Do we provide them from the start or after they complete the specified period?

As per Gujarat Shops and Establishment Act following leaves are given:

Annual / Privileged / Earned Leave (AL/PL/EL) 21 days for every 240 days worked
5 days for every 60 days worked

Casual Leave (CL) 7 days

Sick Leave (SL) 7 days

Maximum AL/PL that can be carried forward 63 Days

Thank You.

Earned leave means leave earned by working for certain days in the previous year. Therefore, EL will be credited only after 12 months of working. In order to regularise the leave patterns, it will be done every January by considering the number of days worked in the previous year (January to December) and in respect of employees joined during the year, earned leave will be credited pro rata.

The leaves granted are inadequate
You need to follow the rules you quoted from shop and establishment act

Thank You for all the answers.
