Delhi Shops and Establishments Act, 1954

Privilege leave
At least fifteen days after every twelve months of continuous employmentThis 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(1)(a)
