IF Employee Taken Leave On Saturday & Monday We Have To Consider Sunday As Leave?

Dear Deven,
As rightly explained above, leave rules vary from company to company (for white collar employees). However, statutes have some sort of certain impact on the leave policies as framed by the different companies.
Most of the companies follow leave policy where holiday /weekly off is excluded while counting of leaves if holiday /weekly off falls during or at either end of the period of leave. Section 79 of Factories Act, 1948 is very clear about this.
However, let me reiterate once again that leave policy is a descretion of a company's management and framing of leave policy is as per the needs and requirements of the company.

Dear Rakesh
I had gone through the said provision but there is no any indication of the said issue all legal clauses are there . So it is clear taht this isuue is a part of Mgmt policy & any Mgmt can make the policy as they wish , For the said issue , if any employee/ union ask us about the law , act then..? this issue may a matter of disput...?

I agree with Mr. B.K Bhatia's explanation, the company's policy must clearly state whether holiday in-between two leaves is to be considered as paid leave or not. To my understanding there is no law governing this issue.
Thank you.

Dear All,
To my knowledge there is Act or Rule which says holidays coming in between should or should not be counted as inclusive. It's a general practice with almost many employer holidays and sundays/weekly off etc. sand witched in between a spell of leave not to be ignored. On the other hand holidays, sundays/weekly off either suffixing or prefixing is normally permitted. Better ask your friends work for 5 days a week knows the knack of this prefixing and suffixing. they R the masters in this.

Dear friend
There are Casual Leaves and Earned Leaves. In the case of casual leaves, an employee can apply leave on Saturday and Monday, with permission to avail public holiday on Sunday. In such case, casual leave will be deducted for two days only and Sunday cannot be considered as casual leave. In the case of Earned leaves, if the employee applies leave from Saturday to Monday including Sunday, the entire three days will be considered as earned leave for granted. This is the general rule in all firms. However, leave rules are subject to the guidelines and norms and standards prescribed by the concerned companies and firms according to their policies.

Dear Friend,
Greetings!
Your query is depends upon the Company's Leave policy (for white collar employees). Normally, while taking CL on Saturday and Monday would not include sunday as leave. But in case of Sick Leave and PL, sunday would be counted.

It depends on company policy, i think we should have employee friendly approach wherein Sunday is always a paid holiday, irrespective of prefix or suffix.

hello,
There are types of leave viz. earned leave, casual leave, sick leave, maternity leave etc. If an employee is taking earned leave on saturday and monday then sunday will also be treated as earned leave. In case, if an employee is taking casual leave for saturday and monday then sunday will be excluded from casual leave.

The Factories Act does not provide for wages on weekly holidays.But Kerala Shop Act provides it.Usually sunday is included as leave except casual leave.All other things depends on Co policy.
