Dear Colleagues,

I have 2 queries:

1. We distribute Sodexo in 3 categories: Rs. 2000, Rs. 3000, and Rs. 4000. Is it okay? Is it in order? Is the entire Sodexo tax-free? Can somebody please clarify?

2. If we have an office in Chennai, do we have to follow the exact leave rules mentioned in the Shops Act, or can we have our own different leave system (in terms of fixing up the number of leaves for CL, SL, and PL)?

Thanks & Regards,
V. Chithranath

1. We distribute Sodexo in 3 categories: Rs. 2000, Rs. 3000, and Rs. 4000. Is it okay? Is it in order? Is the entire Sodexo tax-free? Can somebody please clarify?

Sodexo is given as per the employee's wish. It is totally tax-free. It can be of any denomination depending on the employee's use and his tax liability.

2. If we have an office in Chennai, do we have to follow the exact leave rules mentioned in the Shops Act, or can we have our own different leave system (in terms of fixing up the number of leaves for CL, SL, and PL)?

It depends. We had offices in Delhi & Bombay, but we used to follow the same rules of leave that we had for our head office. The PL should be according to the Shops Act; the remaining depends on your company.
