Dear Rachna, It depends on HR Policy- company to company. that is not a statutory. If the same has been not mentioned in your policy, then - we should not consider it. Regards, Sunil

Dear Rachna,

It depends on the company policy. In my previous company, they deducted holiday leave (manufacturing company). Now, I am working in a consultancy - MNC where they do not calculate leave before and after the holiday.

Dear Rachna,

The type of leave that you are talking about is known as "Sandwich Leave". This type of leave is applicable in the case that you have presented in your query - when an employee takes leaves before and after the holiday, all 3 days shall be credited to the leave account of the employee.

The sandwich leave also applies when a company works 5 days a week. Here, when an employee takes leave on Friday as well as on Monday, then all four days from Friday to Monday shall be credited as leaves in the leave account of the employee.

The Sandwich Rule is not a law or act and is not mandatory. Several companies include it in their HR Leave Policy to have control over the frequency of leaves taken by the employees and to keep a check on the misuse of the weekends and holidays provided.

I hope this will help!

Regards.

Since,you are applying for casual leave,prefix or suffix of closed holidays,or weekly off-days, may be allowed.However,these things depend on company leave policy.

Dear Rachna,

The rule of casual leave depends on the company. If a worker avails leave before and after a holiday/weekend off, the following applies:
1. If an employee's leave is sanctioned in advance, then you can consider it as casual leave. If the employee has not had leave sanctioned beforehand, it depends on the company whether to mark the absence or present status. This scenario varies on a case-by-case basis. However, if the employer sanctions casual leave, then you can deduct two casual leave days.

Thanks & Regards,

Hello Rachna,

If your company's salary is calculated based on the number of working days, for example, 25, 26, or 27, then continual holidays cannot be considered as casual leave. If your company calculates the salary based on the number of days in a month, for instance, 30 or 31, then it falls under casual leave.

I hope this clarifies your query.

Thank you,

This is purely depend upon your company policy. In normal case, if an employee avail leave pre-fix and suffix a holiday/weekly - off then, all three days shall be counted as leave. Thanks R K Nair

Dear Rachna,

Greetings for the day.

No leave should be counted only for absenteeism instead of a holiday or week off because leave is provided in lieu of working days instead of holidays.
