Uniform Leave Policy Across States
You should follow a uniform leave policy for all states in such a way that the number of leaves is not less than what is prescribed under any Shop & Commercial Establishment Act of the states where you have offices. It is beneficial if your employees are transferable to any offices. For holidays, you can have different policies depending on the states.

Leave Policies Across Multiple States
Leave as an inclusive subject will include CL, SL, PL, and PH. Out of these, only for PL are there laws and rules from different states. These rules are not very different from each other. Study the rules of the states where you have branches and select the maximum PL given to employees, applying it to all other states where you have branches.
For CL, SL, and PH, it is your unilateral decision or a clause in agreement with the union. To be honest, this should be enforced by the employer, perhaps as a clause in the agreement. Uniformity in service conditions is essential for the smooth functioning of transfers.

Leave Policy and State Holidays
Leave policy is always a crucial aspect of the company. How it is dovetailed with the 'Holidays Calendar' of different states should be considered. It is desirable to follow the holidays applicable in each state, particularly if your employees at a location belong to that state.
The general practice is to have the holidays list comprising of:
- Closed holidays (applicable to all employees)
- Restricted holidays (provide a list of all state-wise festivals and give the option to choose any 3).
