Dear Sir,

The corporate office of our company is registered under Punjab shops and establishment act.

Do we need to pay the earned leave on total salary or only on basic pay since in total pay there is lot of components like conveyance allowance,HRA etc.

Kindly clarify and also inform us about the calculation formula.

Regards,
