Confused About Paid Leave Policies? How to Handle Finance vs. HR Disagreements

I work in a power sector company where I manage the manpower segment. In this role, I am responsible for providing Paid Holidays and Paid Leave for drivers, office boys, housekeeping staff, etc. However, the Finance and Administration department is questioning whether we should only pay for the working days and not for Sundays, Paid Holidays, and Paid Leave if there are no Paid Holidays in a particular month or if employees are already availing Paid Leave.

Please clarify this matter for me as soon as possible, as it may lead to a conflict between the two departments.

Thank you in advance.

Before coming to any conclusion or conflicts, sit down with the F&A Department and sort it out amicably across the table. It is assumed that your F&A department must be of the opinion that Sundays and Public Holidays are paid holidays; hence, the same should not be paid double. It's advisable to sit with them and clarify the misconception between the two departments.

Regards.
