National And Festival Holiday Payment

Dear sir,

I am Laxmi, working in the garment industry. One employee has been absent for the last 10 days, which is unauthorized. During these 10 days, there was a festival holiday, so the employee is eligible for the festival holiday.

Regards,

Laxmi

No, he will not be entitled to the holiday payment. Make him absent.

Dear Laxmi,

If any employee takes leave without any approval, then you can treat it as an absence, even for the festival holidays, if any in between.

Yes, your daily wages or monthly salary determine the monthly wages (salary) you are eligible for, including festive wages. Your salary payment is for the next month only.

Festival holidays wages are payable only if the employee had worked either before or after the festival; otherwise, he will not be eligible for it.

Dear Laxmi,

If any employee takes a long leave instead of Festival Holidays, it will be treated as an absence. We are not required to pay any wages for the holidays, even if it is an informed leave. However, if the employee works before and after Festival Holidays, they are eligible to receive holiday wages.

Please revert if you receive any further information regarding the same.

Regards,
Kavitha.

I completely agree with Mr. Dinkar Sonawane. A workman who had worked on the day prior to a festival, and also worked the next day, is entitled to wages for the festival holiday. However, a workman who proceeds on authorized leave, any paid holiday falling at either end of the leave period or during the leave period, the workman is entitled to wages. Such days are to be excluded from the leave period.

Dear Mr. Raghu,

I read your suggestion given to Mr. Laxmi. I think you are not aware of any company's leave policy, festival paid days, and disciplinary action during employee absenteeism. So, first, become familiar with these topics and provide suggestions to anyone on the site of cite-hr.
