Dear Abaay,
Referring your specific issues I would appreciate if you look at the pertinent stipulations i.e.:
1. The wage period cannot be more than one month and
2. Even if there is a default it shouldn't be "wilful" . The onus lies with the employer to prove that it's not "wilful".
You might have come across many instances where employers postpone payment of salary (either temporarily or permanently) for various reasons like paucity of funds, "sick"ness, strikes/lockout, closure, merger and demerger and so on (recall recent KFA case). In such cases it is the responsibility of the employer to properly notify the employees and seek permission, in advance, of the concerned authorised Labour Law enforcing authorities such as ALC etc. This will help the employer to escape penal action by them.
In your case it is necessary that you should not err on the wrong side by choosing to defer the salary payment after the due date (might have been fixed by you under due approval of the designated authorities.)because of intervening holiday. The pre-ponement is always safest and appreciable.
With regards,
