Well that depends on how well the management and the union (if any) has congruence on the leaves. For a smaller Company, you can take into account first the National Holidays then Major State Holidays and later on fill the rest with other Secular Holidays. Also take into account the religion & cultural bifurcation of your employee to make a consolidated list which would be fair & just. Holidays should also be taken into account after taking note of your Industry and Customer Service requirements.............rgrds

Yes.1st May is Labour day. But if you are either in Maharashtra/Gujarat State it is celebrated as State Holiday as these states were officially formed on this day. Apart from this it is internationally celebrated as "Workers/Labour Day" but also note that it is not a compulsory holiday as per the national gazatte.............rgrds
