Delhi Shops and Establishments Act, 1954

On discharge or resignation
An employee discharged before being allowed privilege leave, or who quits after applying for it and being refused, is paid full wages for the leave dueThis comes from the Labour Department's own copy of the Act at labour.delhi.gov.in. That copy is an annotated edition rather than a bare Act: each section is followed by editorial 'Comments' with case notes and the editor's glosses, and some of those glosses go further than the section above them — one, for instance, describes an 11 p.m. closing as optional, which section 16 does not say. Only the statutory text is used on this page.Section 22(2)
Contracting out
An agreement by which an employee gives up a right under the Act is void so far as it takes the right awaySection 24
Encashment during service
Not yet addedThe Act provides for payment on discharge or resignation only; it says nothing about encashing leave while in service
