Is PL or EL mandatory for a company? Can you please help me with the details?

Both EL (Earned leave) and PL (Privileged Leave) mean the same and granting of leave to employees is mandatory for any organisation. The number of leaves to which an employee is entitled may change depending upon the nature of the industry, ie, factory, mine, plantation or commercial establishments.

Hi Madhu, Thanks for your reply. If possible can you please share me the supporting notification. It will help me to proceed further.

Please let me know what is the nature of industry, whether it is a factory, Mine or a shop or commercial establishment?

It's a commercial establishment.

Dear Mr. Yogeeswar

You can refer Shop and Estab. Act of the respective state.

Under Tamil Nadu Shops and Commercial Establishments Act, you are supposed to give 12 days Casual Leave, 12 days Sick Leave to every employee. Moreover, every employee who completes 12 months of service shall be entitled to 12 days Earned Leave.

Thanks for giving me the details.
