National Holidays Falling on Sundays: Can We Swap Them for Weekdays?

National and Festival Holidays List for 2016

I am preparing the National and Festival Holidays list for 2016. In this list, two mandatory holidays (May Day and Gandhi Jayanthi) are falling on a Sunday. Our employees have requested that since these holidays fall on a Sunday, which is a normal holiday, we should select two other holidays that fall on weekdays so that they do not lose these holidays.

So, my questions are:

1. Can I select two other holidays instead of May Day and Gandhi Jayanthi, which fall on a Sunday, a regular holiday?
2. Can I select two other holidays instead of May Day and Gandhi Jayanthi and mention these under the list or at the bottom in a note that they fall on Sundays?
3. Or is it not possible?

Regards,

Hi Santhosh,

As it is falling on Sundays, you have to select any other 2 holidays for any festival.

You can have two national holidays on other days, but clearly mention that these two days are falling on a Sunday. This is for example the 2016 calendar year only.
