Weekend Off and Paid Holiday: Is Missing Monday a Dealbreaker for Eligibility?

Dear All,

I have the following query: If an employee (executive cadre) has the weekend off on Saturday and Sunday, and Sunday is also a paid holiday, but the employee does not report to work on Monday, is the employee still eligible for the paid holiday?

Thanks in advance.

Dear Pratibha,

As per HR Policy, if a person is absent for both the day before and after Sunday, he/she is not eligible to get the paid holiday; i.e., his/her three days' pay will be deducted along with the Sunday.

Thanks and Regards,
Rupam
