Weekend Leave Dilemma: Should Saturday and Sunday Count if Sick Leave is Taken on Friday and Monday?

Hi,

I would like to know if we should consider Saturday and Sunday as leave if an employee takes sick or earned leave on Friday and Monday. What do the Shop Act and Factory's Act say regarding the same?

Thank you in advance.

Regards,
Shubhra :)

Dear Subhra,

Yes, you must consider Saturday and Sunday as earned leave since the leave taken falls in a series. However, much depends on every company's leave policies.

I am sending you an attachment regarding the guidelines of the Leave Procedure/Policy.

Keep Smiling...
