Calculating paid leave for confirmed employees in a start-up can be a bit complex, but it's not impossible. Here's a step-by-step guide:

1. Understand the Legal Requirements: First, you need to understand the legal requirements in your country or state. Different countries have different labor laws regarding paid leave. Some countries mandate a certain number of paid leave days per year, while others leave it up to the discretion of the employer.

2. Company Policy: Next, consider your company's policy. If you don't have one, it's time to create it. A common practice is to offer a certain number of paid leave days per year, which could be anywhere from 10 to 25 days, depending on the industry and the country.

3. Calculation: Once you have the number of paid leave days, divide it by the number of working days in a year to get the daily accrual rate. Then, multiply this rate by the number of days the employee has worked to calculate the number of paid leave days the employee has earned.

For example, if your company offers 20 paid leave days and there are 260 working days in a year, the daily accrual rate would be 20/260 = 0.077. If an employee has worked for 100 days, he would have earned 0.077*100 = 7.7 days of paid leave.

4. Confirmation: After the employee's confirmation, continue to calculate the paid leave in the same way. The only difference is that the number of working days will start from the confirmation date.

Remember, this is a simplified explanation and actual calculations may vary based on your company's policy and local labor laws. Always consult with a legal expert or HR consultant to ensure you're in compliance with all relevant laws and regulations.

The number of paid leave for which each employee is entitled to will depend on the state in which the establishment is set up. However, if yours is a factory, then the Central Act is applicable. If your establishment is a shop or commercial establishment please refer the state Shops and Commercial Establishments Act. There is no separate treatment for startups but the law is uniform to all establishments.
