Number Of Holidays In A Year Doc Download

Hello Everyone,
Can you please tell me the number of holidays that may be given to employees in a year?
As per statutory compliances is there any fix number?
Regards,
Vidya!

Hi Vidya,
Attached herewith is list of holidays. You can use this format. Please the compulsary holidays for your type of industry.

Vidya,
It depends on the kind of organization, you are working with.
1. If it is a manufaturing unit, the leave rules shall be governed as per the factories act.
2. If it is covered under shop & establishment act, the leave rules should be governed as per the state shop & establishment act.
You can refer the respective act as the case may be.
Regards,

Hi Vidya,
I agree with Negi... the number of holidays completely depends on the type of organization. I am working with a BPO and we give 10 holidays in a year.
If your company is related to State or Central Govt, you need to follow the norms set up by them.

Thanks a lot all of you for your views on that.
Ours is a software company which is 5 days woking.
So is 10 holidays excluding the events which fall on week ends fine?

Dear Vidya :
The usual must holidays are Independence Day, Republic Day, Gandhi Jayanthi.
But you cannot ignore occasions such as May Day falling on May 1, 2006 the State formation day - Karnataka Rajyotsava Day in Karnataka falling on Nov 1, 2006.
Apart from the above 5 days, may be 5 holidays for Festivals and other occasions should suffice the requirement.
Incidentally, for a 5 day a week working, the no. of actual days worked in a year is given under :
2 days off in a week = 52 x 2 = 104 days
Paid holidays as above = 10 days
Minimum paid leave (1 days for
every 20 days worked =
365 - 104 - 10 days = 251
= 251 divided by 20 = 12.5 or 13)= 13 days
Therefore total days not worked = 127 days
Therefore total days workable = 365 - 127 = 238 days = 65 %
of total workable days !!!!!!!!!!
Great working.

Dear Anand,
The Factories Act, 1948 do not have any provisions relating to grant of National & Festival Holidays. List of holidays are declared / granted under state Act.
