Dear Colleague,
Employees are either daily rated or monthly rated. In case of daily rated employee, usually weekly off is unpaid whereas for monthly rated employee, weekly off is paid .
In the instant case, if the employee of either category is found to be unauthorisedly absent and treated as such after his explanation is found to be unacceptable, then the entire period of 20 days is unpaid. But if the said employee is granted leave , then in that case , his weekly off is payable if he is monthly rated. For daily rated barring the days of leave , weekly off days are not payable.
