Regarding Number Of Days Worked

Dear HR Professionals,
I have a query that if an employee is on leave from 20th jan to 30th jan and joins back on 1st feb, 31st jan is sunday. Please tell me that 31st jan i.e. sunday will be counted as leave or working day as he joins back on 1st feb i.e. Monday.Please tell me i have to calculate his salary.
Regards,
Shikha

Dear Shikha,
If the employee would have reported to work on 30th then 31 would be a holiday. If the employee directly joins on 1st then from 20-31 would be period of leave.
Was the employee given a paid holiday or LOP for the leaves taken ?

Hi,
Thanks for the reply.Those were leave without pay.What i know is if you take an off on saturday and again an off of monday then sunday is counted but if the employee joins back on monday then sunday would not be deducted from salary. Please clear my doubts.
Thanks & Regards,
Shikha

Dear Shikha,
When a Weekly off is comming at the begining of the leave or end of the leave, we considers as working day, but when it comes during the leave, we consider as leave.

a weekly off is given
to employee if s/he works
for 7days. in ur case
u should deduct the
salary for 12 days.
if s/he has applied
for cl or sl. than
those days should
be removed. if a
employee does'nt work

the employee is
not entitled to offs.

Hi Shikha,

31st Jan should not be considered as leave. This is because he has joined back on Monday. Leave should be calculated only till 30th Jan.
As you rightly said, if he was on leave on Monday as well, then Sunday would have been considered as leave.

Dear,
31 Jan. will be considered as holiday since he joine on 1st feb. if he would have been join on 2nd feb. then upto 1st feb. it will be considered as leave days.

Dear Shikha,



Leave Rules are quite simple and there is an age old provision that if Sunday or holiday preceeds or follows the leave period that is prefixed or suffixed with leave, but NOT counted as part of leave.



As such, if Sunday or any holiday comes before start of leave, the employees is treated to have proceeded on leave only after the Sunday or holiday. Similarly, if on expiry of leave if Sunday or holiday follows leave, he is allowed to join when the office opens for work, but the closed day is not treated as part of leave.



It is a matter of very commonsense, the office will not open on a Sunday or holiday simply for the purpose of relieving a single employee to make him work for the whole closed day and proceed on leave after that or to make him join when the office is closed. Employee is not at fault or obliged to join when the organisation is closed.



So, for all purposes Sunday or holiday happening before or after leave is not a part of Leave of the employee.
