There is no provision under the Act for CL. For EL/Pl pl.note the undermentioned extract from the Factories Act, 1948.

For Maternity and Sick Leave pl.refer the TN Factories Rules and ESI Act. (I hope your firm must be covered under ESI.) and Maternity Act.

The Factories Act is a central act (extract of which for EL/PL/SL is provided above) which is applicable all over India. This should be read in combination with the U.P. State Factories Rules which also applicable but restricted only within U.P.

Respected sirs,
Once again I am to say why youngsters are not going through the statutory provisions before putting questions on this site.
Requesting all youngsters, to go through the Acts and ask for clarifications. I am to say again if these youngsters are habituated for spoon feeding, we are spoiling our fraternity.
This is not offend any one but to request them to read further to understand and mature as true professionals.

Mr Sitaram is right.I appeal to all HR beginners to read the central labour Acts and the state rules made under it by the respective states.Note that Acts like EPF,ESI,Apprentices there are only central rules.Factories Act has no central rules .Only state rules are there.In the field of Festival Holiday, shops etc only states have made laws.
If you are in central sector pl follow the central rules.Otherwise follow state rules.Subscribe one of the labor law/HR journal to update information.Still if you have any serious queries pl call the seniors.
