Dear Friends,
I work as an HR Executive in a pharmaceutical company. We observe a 5-day work week, and we have 10 festival holidays with 10 CL/year. Could you please tell me how to calculate the number of Earned Leaves for an employee according to the Maharashtra Shops and Establishment Act recent amendment?
Thank you
