New to HR: Should I Count Sunday as a Leave for an Employee Who Took 5 Days Off?

Dear all HR,

I am new in the field of HR. Here in our company, one of the employees has availed 5 leave in one week. Please share your view: should I give him the benefit of Sunday leave?

If the employee has availed 5 leave in one week,

The information you have provided is inadequate to give a proper answer. Please provide all details of the setup, circumstances of the matter, permanency, whether he had leave available, or it was without pay, etc.

Sir,

The employee had taken leave without pay; however, the employee took 5 days off in one week. Please guide me on whether I should deduct only 5 days' salary or 6 days, including Sunday.

Sir, our company is a private limited manufacturing entity registered under the Factory Act. If an employee takes 5 days of leave, for example, if Mr. X avails leave for 5 days from Monday to Friday, the company will deduct his 6 days' salary for Sunday to Friday, including Sunday.

Please confirm if this policy is correct: if an employee takes a 5-day leave, they will not be entitled to include Sunday in their leave entitlement.
