I want to know if it is mandatory to provide EL facilities to employees. According to labor laws, how many CLs and SLs have to be given? Is there any specific leave policy that has to be implemented for retired employees, I mean those who work after 58 years as well? Our company is a security services company.

For Shops Act - 15 PL and Factory Act - 18 PL p.a is Mandatory. And CL & SL can provide 12 p.a. but SL is not mandatory for ESI Covered Employees. Sebastian

Leave Provisions Under the Factories Act and Shops & Establishments Act
The Factories Act provides for EL (annual leave), and a factory, being an industrial establishment within the meaning of the Standing Orders Act 1946, needs to provide for CL as well under the Standing Orders. There is no provision for SL under the Factories Act. For providing SL under Standing Orders, please refer to your state's model Standing Orders.
If you are covered by the Shops and Establishments Act, you need to provide EL/CL/SL if prescribed under the A.P. Shops & Establishments Act since it is mandatory. Some states' Shops Acts provide for CL/SL besides EL, while others do not.
