Is It Mandatory to Pay for Weekly Days Off in Odisha's Manpower Services?

We are into manpower services in Odisha. We want to know whether it is statutory to allow a worker weekly paid time off, or if simply giving them a weekly day off without payment is acceptable.

Dear Aman, What is your designation? What about you? Do you get a paid weekly off or an unpaid weekly off? Would you mind quoting an example where you have seen a salary deduction take place for a regular employee for a weekly off?

It appears to me that your query stems from your preponderance. It seems that you look down upon a section of society who are economically weak. Paid weekly off is a worker's legal right and not the employer's noblesse oblige.

These HR forums are for asking queries. Nevertheless, in the course of asking queries, there is a limit to the extent you should exhibit your ignorance. Unfortunately, you have exercised your choice through your query.

Thanks,
