Dear All,

I am working as Manager - HR & Administration in a company which is in operations since 1992 and is manufacturing API. Since inception of the plant, they have implemented leave policy as under:
PL CL SL
Staff Member : 30 8 8

Workers : 21 8 0 (as they are covered under ESI)

Now my management wants to reduce PL from 30 days to 21 dyas in a year in staff category ? Can we do straight away ? Is there any legal procedure to be completed ?

We had labour unrest in 2002 and employees went on strike which prohibited by the govt and now matter is in high court.

Currently we do not have any union in the factory.

Under this circumstances, Kindly advice in the matter.

Regards,
Shashi
