Factory Act Form 22: How Do You Calculate Working Days for Half Yearly Returns?

Dear Mentors, Which working days should we mention in Half Yearly Return Form 22, column number 8 under the Factory Act? Should we include the last six months' working days or the total average days? Please suggest.

You have to mention only the working days for the last six months, excluding all weekly offs (Sundays) and all paid holidays given to employees by your organization.

e.g. Working Days = Total Days of the last six months - (All Weekly offs + All Paid Holidays)

I think it is enough.

Dear,

In that column, you only have to write the actual working days. This means you have to count all days on which work has been done, whether they are weekly offs or paid holidays.

We cannot count the weekly offs and paid holidays as working days. It is compulsory for any organization to give a weekly off and paid holiday to all its workers/employees. If workers/employees work on any weekly off or paid holiday, the company has to pay them as overtime and not as a normal working day.

Thanks & Regards,

Dear O. B. Gautam,

We cannot count the Weekly Offs and Paid Holidays in working days. It is compulsory for any organization to give a weekly off and paid holiday to all its workers/employees. If workers/employees worked on any WO or PH, the company has to pay them as overtime and not as a normal working day.

Thanks & Regards,

I think if a working day continues on any WO/PH and it's compensated, then it will be counted as a working day. Total working days equal how many days the factory has run. I am not talking about OT, but due to some production planning or any other reason if the factory has worked on WO/PH and the same has been compensated, then WO/PH will count as working days.
