Is there any legislation, State or Central, which provides for entitlement of monthly privilege leave (PL) to an employee from its employer.

Although the nature and purpose of both Privilege Leave(PL) and Earned Leaved(EL) are same, however, applicability differs in terms of minimum allotment and act twhich covers them.

Under Factories Act such leaves are called Earned Leave (EL) and under Shops & Estb. Act the same are called Privilege Leave (PL).
Another difference is how many leaves are allotted under this category. Under Factories Act, 1 EL for every 20 days of work (18 per year)and on the other hand under S&E Act 5 PL for every 4 months work (15 per year). .
