Leave - Is Sunday Counted If It Falls Between Leave Days?

I am shweta working as HR Officer. If any employee is taking leave for Saturday to Monday (3 Days). shall we count sunday as leave or it will be treated as holiday?

Dear Shwetaa,
It depends on company to company. Generally Holidays and sunday between the leaves are not counted and same is being followed in our organization also. So as per your question, only two days leave will be counted (Saturday & Monday)

The intervening sunday to be counted as leave. However, it depends on the policies of companies.

As per the Statutory, if an employee avails leave on Saturday and Monday, it will be treated as (Sandwiched leave) leave which is explained in Labour Laws.

Hi,
If sunday is between two leaves than we have to count sunday also as leave day..

Depends upon company policy,
Other wise its treatment on type of leave is clearly mentioned in labour law

Hi, We consider Sunday as a leave incase a leave taken on Saturday or Monday is unplanned. It depends on the policy in different organizations

Though the one thing is clear that the Sandwiched leave is generally been taken into account but the more genuine view being that if the employee works in shift, covering 24 hrs then it is likely to burden the company by way of over time payment to the other employee. here it is legitimate to count the intervening Sunday as the leave, but if the employee works in day shift with Sunday as mandatory holiday in that case we should take the leave as being bifurcated into two days leave of Saturday and Monday only. Counting Sunday as his leave period is gross injustice and not a healthy sign. so v should frame our policy in these lines.

It depends on company's policy. But different rules are for different catagory. If the employee is worker, he is generally paid for 26 days actual work ( no wages for weekly off) Then the Sunday or weekly off day is not taken in calculation. However, if the employee is staff and if
1) he is on CL the sunday is excluded.
2) he is on EL/PL the sunday in taken in calculation. * because EL/PL is required to be taken min. for 3 days

As described by Mr. Ragavendra, Sandwiched leave is normally followed by the govt. organisations. In most of the private organisations only working days are counted as leave if the employee is on leave.
