Paid Holiday Confusion: Do Monthly and Daily Rated Employees Get Different Benefits?

sanjay.dulgaj
Dear all,

If the employee has their weekly day off on a paid holiday:
- For MONTHLY RATED employees: they will not receive this holiday.
- For DAILY RATED employees: they will receive this holiday.

Seniors, please clarify this.

With regards,

Dear Jane Sir,

I think you didn't get my point. I mean to ask you that, 15th August is a National holiday, which was on Wednesday.

For Monthly Rated employees: If an employee has his weekly off on Wednesday, is he liable to get 2 days payable (i.e. weekly off holiday & Independence Day holiday) or will he get only 1 day payable as regular weekly off?

For Daily Rated employees: For a daily rated employee who has his weekly off on Wednesday, will he get the maximum payable day as 26 days or 27 days (will it include paid holiday or not)?

Please advise me.

Dear Sanjay,

First of all, I am not a sir; I am a girl. An employee is not liable for the two days' payment on a daily basis, even if it is a public holiday. On a monthly basis, it is counted as 26 working days, not 27 working days.

Dear Sanjay,

Technically, one more factor is required: whether your organization is working on paid holidays or not. You will have to draft a policy for such probabilities by dividing the total manpower into three groups - Senior Management, Middle Management, Junior Management/Staff, and for Workers. You will need to take care of the provisions of the Factory Act regarding weekly offs.

Dear Sanjay,

Technically, one more factor is required: whether your organization is working on a paid holiday or not. You will have to draft a policy for such probabilities by dividing the total manpower into four groups:

1. Senior Management
2. Middle Management
3. Junior Management/Staff
4. Workers

Additionally, you will need to ensure compliance with the Factory Act provisions regarding weekly offs.

Dear All,

What is the criteria for taking a weekly off? Can they avail the weekly off after a week's leave if the joining date falls on the weekly off?

Dear Sir,

If an employee is absent on 12 Oct and 14 Oct, does he get the holiday of 13 Oct, election holiday? What should I do, consider as leave or paid holiday?

As far as my knowledge goes, if a weekly off coincides with a holiday under the NI Act, then the employee concerned should be given a due day off. That means another off day. This can be avoided if COD (Compensatory Off day payment) is paid. That means an amount (basic+da / no. of days in a month). This is eligible for shift workers.
