Sundays (weekly offs) are also treated as a loss of pay in our company. What are the rules and regulations in the above matter?

One employee has applied for leave. There is no leave balance. We will treat it as a loss of pay. I doubt the person was leave applied from 01.11.2011 to 22.11.2011. There are 22 days and 3 Sundays (weekly offs) there. The Sundays (weekly offs) are also treated as a loss of pay in our company. What are the rules and regulations in the above matter?

The law (refer Factories Act) says after 6 th day of working or after completion of 48 hours in a week a day should be given as a weekly holiday and not a weekly holiday with wages.
Therefore when we come to your case, since the person has not worked 48 hours in a week and has taken entire week on LOP the Sundays also to be treated as LOP only

If any employee is on leave Monday to Wednesday , then what about his weekly off on Sunday?

Hi,

Employee is on leave Monday to Wednesday means 3 days leave to be deducted from the leave balance. Sunday is weekly off and hence no need to consider it as leave. However if the employee is on leave from Friday to Wednesday and in between weekly off should also be adjusted against leave.

When an employee is availing leave at a stretch for more than 2/3 days, the intervening weekly off shall be counted as leave only and not a weekly off day

Sir

if the employee is in leave from Thursday to Wednesday. Then Sunday will be treated as leave or weekly off ?????

Please clarify.

Hi,

In this case (Thursday to Wednesday) it has to considered as continuous leave including week ends.

In many organisations, a difference is maintained between Casual Leave and other types of leaves (like Earned Leave/Privilege Leave/Annual Leave/ Sick Leave/ Medical Leave etc) In CL, only the actual working days are counted and any intervening holiday is not included for leave purpose. In other types of leaves all intervening holidays are included but a holiday preceding or succeeding such leave is excluded.
These are some of the employee-friendly policies an organisation can have. It is better to simplify rules and to be generous.

Dear Sir,
i have a doubt our an employee applied leave from Monday to Saturday (6 days) and his EL Balance is 4. Will Sunday be counted as weekly holiday or LOP? Please clear doubt.
