Election Day on a Sunday: Can We Expect an Extra Holiday?

Dear Seniors, kindly guide me if there is a Sunday on election day. Can we get an additional holiday for this?

Thank you.

Election Day Holiday Policy

This is a special holiday to enable citizens to cast their vote. If Election Day is on a Sunday, employees are not entitled to a holiday on any other working day.

Yes, Mr. Deshai is absolutely right. I would like to add for your information that if it is a Sunday or any other holiday observed by your establishment, there is no need to provide a substituted holiday.

Legal Requirements for Continuous Process Industries

As per legal requirements, if any industry falls under "continuous process industries," only short leave may be given just to facilitate the casting of votes. A full day leave is not required.

In our organization, which is a continuous production company, we allow employees to arrive late by 2 hours to cast their votes. Employees who arrive 2 hours late on the same day are checked to confirm if they have indeed voted, based on the voter's mark on their finger.

Poll Day Leave Policy

No additional leave is admissible when the poll day falls on a Sunday. Furthermore, the poll holiday is only applicable to employees in the General shift, from 08 AM to 05 PM. No leave is granted to employees who are in A, B, and C Shifts.
