Dear Sir,
I have recently joined as an HR executive for a factory registered under the U.P Factories Act, 1948 and have been tasked to find out the legal requirements for leaves as per this act for staff (not workers). I have read a few books on this, but the information is not very clear.
Could you please advise me on this and point me to the material that confirms these details?
Sincerely,

In a nutshell, all employees of the establishment who are on the muster roll are covered under the act. Ask the management for the adopted policies till now and then cross-check with the statutory compliance.

Dear Sharma ji,
I have checked this, and as per the existing policy, workers covered under ESIC are not entitled to sick/medical leave. However, staff who are not under the purview of ESIC are entitled to the same. Management wishes to provide all such staff members with medical benefits through private medical insurance such as Religare, etc. What impact will this have on their medical/sick leaves? Management also wishes not to grant medical leaves or reduce the number of medical leaves as they are already providing a benefit above that. Can they do that as per the law?
Yours sincerely,
