Is It Fair to Swap Declared Holidays? Seeking Advice on Company Practices

Dear All,

Please help....

I am working in a TPA (Third-Party Administrator Company). Basically, it is in the service industry. My company withdrew a holiday and adjusted it against another day. We gave an internal circular in our corporate office that we are declaring x day as a holiday in lieu of y holiday. Is it right? Because at the beginning of the year, we declared y day as a holiday. But due to certain circumstances, we gave a holiday on x day. Is it the right practice?

Regards,
Manmath

Dear Manmath,

Generally, an organization finalizes holidays for the forthcoming year well in advance and displays them on the notice board. Changing holidays is very rare. If a valid reason exists, it can be accepted. However, if it is done regularly without any valid reason, then it is not correct.
