1. In Karnataka Shops and establishment act, Act mentions that employees to get sick leave with wages for a period of "not more than 12 days". Does this means that employer can reduce sick leave below 12?
2. Can employer reduce right of accumulation of leave of employee under above act below 45 days without approval of employees?

A.1. Cannot reduce but need not increase leave below 12 days. So any leave above 12 days can be cut from employee payment.

2. Such things are decided in the policy of the establishment if any. If there is no policy then it will have to be communicated to employee vide his employment agreement. You cannot decided terms on voluntary basis otherwise it will lead to unnecessary disputes with employees affecting the goodwill of the establishment in the long run.
