Understanding Leave Policies Under West Bengal Shop & Establishment Act: Can You Help?

Hello dears,

I want to know the provisions/sections/notifications of the West Bengal Shop & Establishment Act related to:

1. What is the maximum number of days an employee can avail as privilege leave in a single financial year under the said Act and under which section of the Act or notification deals with the same?

2. Whether each year an employee can accumulate and carry forward his/her PL/EL to the next year or encash the same instead of accumulating, and what is the maximum number of days he/she can carry forward and accumulate? Which section of the Act deals with the same?

3. What is the maximum number of sick leave that can be availed in a single financial year and what is the maximum number of accumulation?

4. What is the maximum number of CL that can be availed in a single financial year?

In case the above matters are governed by notifications, what is the notification number, and where can we get it?

Best regards,
Manesh Shah

Thanks.

You could get the book "The West Bengal Shops and Establishment Act, 1963" by Afroze Alam, in which all the rules are written. Please check this site as well. It might be of some help.

Hi friends,

I need some urgent information and request some help. According to the Shops and Establishment Act in West Bengal, how much overtime should be given to employees on Sundays and national holidays?

Is this overtime calculation applicable to both permanent employees and contractual ones?
