In the notification,Rajasthan state is not mentioned whereas on 17/04/2014.....we do have the Lok Sabha Election.
Is there any other notification issued because it is difficult to convince the management.

Hello Sir,
I am working in a IT company, i would like to know if it is a holiday for us too? We work in the UK shift i.e 11 pm- 8 pm. Could you please let me know if this is a mandatory holiday?

Dear Vikash,
I read your statement written in CiteHR site. It is quite amazing. By the time you joint this company, on the same day you must have your contract on desk and after that you could start your job. Furthermore, you can refer again in HR department and listen what they will indicate than talk with them in a better manner. you both should come to a conclusion. If the HR practitioner reject and can not respond you logically, you can directly contact with HR director or CEO/ the company owner.
