Dear Seniors, Our company falls under "The Punjab Shops and Commercial Establishments Act, 1958". Are employees on probation liable for any type of leave such as Earned Leave (EL), Casual Leave (CL), or Sick Leave (SL)? My company policy is silent on this matter.

It all depends on the company policies. In my knowledge, no leave is granted under probation except CL. However, advance PL is considered depending on exigencies. Pon

The first thing is that you have to go through the leave rules mentioned in the Factory Act and THE PUNJAB INDUSTRIAL ESTABLISHMENT (NATIONAL AND FESTIVAL HOLIDAYS & CASUAL AND SICK LEAVE) ACT, 1965 (6.1 – 6.6) (Punjab Act 14 of 1965) for complete details and eligibility.
Well, you also can understand that these CL & SL are necessary needs for everyone, and every employee who is working for 8 hours a day, whether on probation or a regular employee, can avail and is eligible.
Also, I have attached two documents for your further perusal.

Comment posted by you is misleading. You cannot decide company policies contrary to legal provisions. The query posted is about specific legal provisions applicable in the state of Punjab, and one must comment on it only if he or she knows the relevant provision.

- The Factories Act is not applicable in this case since the query is about shops or commercial establishments.
- The Punjab Industrial Establishment National & Festival Holidays & Casual & Sick Leaves Act is also not applicable here. The definition of Industrial Establishment given in the Act does not cover shops and establishments.
