How to Develop a Leave Policy for a US-Based BPO in Hyderabad: CL, SL, EL Guidelines Needed

I am working with a BPO/KPO company, and we operate 5 days a week, from Monday to Friday. The company is US-based!

Leave Policy Inquiry

1) How many leaves are available for Casual Leave (CL)?

2) How many leaves are available for Sick Leave (SL)?

3) How many leaves are available for Earned Leave (EL)?

Could you please suggest how I can develop a leave policy in accordance with the law in Hyderabad, Telangana?

As your office is in Telangana, you need to follow the Telangana Shops & Commercial Establishment Act. This Act has some differences in applicability and encashment, but in principle, the following leaves are applicable:

CL - 12

SL - 12

EL - 15 if worked for 240 days in the previous calendar year

Thank you, sir, for the clarification! As per the Shop and Establishment Acts, CL-12, SL-20, and EL-15. However, we are only working for 5 days. Is it mandatory to follow the law, or are there any exceptions for leaves? As far as I understand, we cannot exceed the number of leaves, but can we reduce the leave numbers for CL-7, SL-7, and EL-8?

Could you please clarify for me?

Thank you in advance.
