New joinee - Is he eligible for Weekly off because he worked 3 days only?

SUNDARAM V
Please provide the new joiner with information about the weekly off provision. He will be joining on Thursday, with Sunday designated as the weekly off day (Example Date of Joining: 05.03.2020, Weekly off: 07.03.2020). Is he eligible for the weekly off since he has worked only three days?

Do you work every day without observing a common weekly off day for all employees? If yes, you can give the new joiner their first weekly day off after 6 days of joining. In case you have a common weekly off, like Sunday, what will they do in your company alone without others? Think practically, and you will find an answer to your question. When everyone is off on Sunday, let them also have their first day off on Sunday. If you are unwilling to let an employee rest before completing 6 days of work, consider setting Monday as a common joining day so that all new joiners work for 6 days before their first weekly off. Since this person has already had a weekly off without completing 6 days of work, you can compensate when they leave by asking them to work till Saturday, using Saturday as their last working day without pay for the weekly off.

He should get the weekly off as this complex situation has not been created at your end only. You do the new joinings in a planned way, so there is no fault of the new joinee. If you do not give him the weekly off, what impression will he carry for your organization.

What's wrong if a new joiner gets time off and then is regularized with a normal working pattern. This also calls for better recruitment and induction policies of the company.
