Employee Day Off Dilemma: Should It Be Deducted or Added to Working Days?

An employee takes a day off in a month. The actual working days in a month are 26, but he works only 25 days. The remaining day is taken as a day off. How should it be calculated - deducted from working days or added to working days? The day off is calculated as earned leave. Can someone please explain?

An employee takes off in a month. The actual working days in a month are 26 days, but he works only 25 days. The remaining day is taken as off. How do we calculate it? Should it be deducted from working days or added to working days? Is that day off calculated as an EL? Please, can anyone clarify this for me?

C/Off & EL Policy Guidelines

C/Off and Earned Leave (EL) should be dealt with separately. If an employee works on a weekly-off or on a holiday (at least for 6 hours of work), they will be entitled to one day of compensatory off (C/Off). As a general policy, C/Off should be availed within two months from the date of working on a weekly-off day or on a holiday. C/Off will not accumulate for the future year, nor can it be encashed.

These are the general guidelines followed. However, some minor changes may occur, depending on the personnel/HR policy from company to company.

Thanks,
