Dear All, I would like you all to help me understand whether Republic Day falling on a Sunday (2014) will be a paid day apart from the general week off, i.e., Sunday. Will this day be double paid, if I may say so?
If your weekly off is a paid holiday, there is no need to pay anything. But if your calculation doesn't include the weekly off day, then you have to pay a day's wages or provide a day off, which has to be incorporated into your list of holidays for 2014. National holidays are fixed and considered as paid holidays. So, it would be better to give a day's wage or a day off to address this.
No need to pay double payment on your query day if a national holiday falls on the weekly off day; we can consider it as a regular weekly off or a holiday (single payment). If an employee works on a national holiday, we should provide compensatory off or overtime pay.
Dear all, It appears that you have a weekly holiday on Sunday, and January 26, 2014, falls on a Sunday as well. Therefore, there will be no additional payment or holiday for those who already have a weekly holiday on the 26th. If anyone is required to work on that day, please refer to the provisions in the standing orders applicable to you and act accordingly.

Public Holiday on a Weekly Off
Any public holiday falling on a weekly off can be treated as a public holiday, and wages for the public holiday should be paid.
