What is Annual Leave - Statutory?

India's statutory annual leave (called Earned Leave or Privilege Leave) varies by state, typically ranging from 15 to 21 days per year, governed by state-specific Shops and Establishments Acts and the central Factories Act 1948, with rules on accrual, carryover, and encashment differing across jurisdictions.

Why it matters in hiring

Annual Leave - Statutory comes up whenever teams compare candidates, set policy or report on people data. Getting the definition right keeps decisions consistent, which is the same reason springhire scores every applicant against the same criteria rather than on impression.
