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)
