Canteen Subsidy Confusion: Why Isn't It Provided on Weekly Off Days?

skbp79
Can anyone help me with the canteen subsidy? I'm wondering why the canteen subsidy is not provided on weekly off days, even though a single wage salary is paid against the national holiday/PH when it falls on a weekly off day.

In the normal course, an employee is entitled to wages/salary if the contract/terms of employment are fulfilled. Similarly, any monetary benefit/facility in lieu of a monetary benefit is extended provided the terms of employment are fulfilled. As for national holidays/paid festival holidays, there is a verbal/written understanding that these days will be paid days, although there is no fulfillment of terms of employment.

Hence, canteen subsidy (which is a facility in lieu of a monetary benefit) is not paid for weekly-off days.
