Provided that the total number of days of leave that may be carried forward to a succeeding year shall not exceed thirty in the case of an adult or forty in the case of a child:
Provided further that a worker, who has applied for leave with wages but has not been given such leave in accordance with any scheme laid down in sub-sections (8) and (9) 2[or in contravention of sub-section (10)] shall be entitled to carry forward the 3[leave refused] without any limit.

(7) If a worker wants to avail himself of the leave with wages due to him to cover a period of illness, he shall be granted such leave even if the application for leave is not made within the time specified in sub-section (6); and in such a case wages as admissible under section 81 shall be paid not later than fifteen days, or in the case of a public utility service not later than thirty days from the date of the application for leave.
(8) For the purpose of ensuring the continuity of work, the occupier or manager of the factory, in agreement with the Works Committee of the factory constituted under section 3 of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 (14 of 1947), or a similar Committee constituted under any other Act or if there is no such Works Committee or a similar Committee in the factory, in agreement with the representatives of the workers therein chosen in the prescribed manner, may lodge with the Chief Inspector a scheme in writing whereby the grant of leave allowable under this section may be regulated.

(12) The unavailed leave of a worker shall not be taken into consideration in computing the period of any notice required to be given before discharge or dismissal.
Dear this is a very wide definition which clears the provision as well as it specifies each Scenario possible. Also produced here the provision related to Weekly off in a Factory.
52. Weekly holidays.—(1) No adult worker shall be required or allowed to work in a factory on the first day of the week (hereinafter referred to as the said day), unless—
(a) he has or will have a holiday for a whole day on one of the three days immediately before or after the said day, and
(b) the manager of the factory has, before the said day or the substituted day under clause (a), whichever is earlier,—
(i) delivered a notice at the office of the Inspector of his intention to require the worker to work on the said day and of the day which is to be substituted, and
(ii) displayed a notice to that effect in the factory:
Provided that no substitution shall be made which will result in any worker working for more than ten days consecutively without a holiday for a whole day.
(2) Notices given under sub-section (1) may be cancelled by a notice delivered at the office of the Inspector and a notice displayed in the factory not later than the day before the said day or the holiday to be cancelled, whichever is earlier.
(3) Where, in accordance with the provisions of sub-section (1), any worker works on the said day and has had a holiday on one of the three days immediately before it, that said day shall, for the purpose of calculating his weekly hours of work, be included in the preceding week.
The primary object of section 52 is to provide weekly holiday for the workers and such day was fixed to be the first day of the week, i.e., Sunday. But, for any special reasons, it becomes necessary to make Sunday the working day, a substitutional holiday is made compulsory. But the intendment of the section is not that the employers will at their sweet will convert successive on all the Sundays primarily intended to be holidays as working days and make any other working day of the week a holiday instead of Sunday; Motor and Machinery Manufacturers Ltd. v. State of West Bengal, 1964 (2) LLJ 562.
In the light of the above provisions i may say that a WORKER is entitled to the above benefits and a worker includes a daily wager also.
Now it is entirely your decision to agree or disagree

Dear Friends
We need not make any separate payment for Weekly off. Because it is already equally distributed on other working days.
Total No of days in a year : 365
Total Weeks : 52 (So total 52 Sundays) means total working days = 365 - 52 = 313
Total days in a year = 313 / 12 (months) = 26 days
Hence the Monthly wages fixed by the government must be divided by 26 = Daily Wages.
So we need not to pay separately for the weekly off. Because the wages for the Weekly off is already equally shared on other days wage rate.
Hope you have understood.

i Think retrenchment Calculation Like that For Staff = Gross Salary X 30/2 X No of working Year If it’s wrong. please give write solution Anil Sharma 8053970289 9971154566

Supreme Court in the matter of Guru Jambheshwar University vs Dharam Pal decided on on 17 January, 2007 has held "that in case of monthly rated employee the fifteen days' wages shall be calculated by dividing the monthly rate of wages by twenty six and multiplying the quotient by fifteen. But, no such amendment has been made in the Industrial Disputes Act. If the legislature wanted that for the purposes of Section 25F(b) also the average pay had to be determined by dividing the monthly wages by twenty-six, a similar amendment could have been made. But the legislature has chosen not to do so. This is an additional reason for holding that the principle of "twenty-six working days" is not to be applied for determining the retrenchment compensation under Section 25F(b) of the Act."

I agree with Rajan. Average pay under section 25F of I D Act means wages paid in 3 months immediately preceding retrenchment divided by 3 and principle of 26 days followed for calculation of gratuity under Payment of Gratuity Act is not applicable for determination of retrenchment compensation.
