I was on leave since 25th October. Our office was closed 30th Sunday, 31st Monday & 1st Nov Tuesday.
I joined office today. Should i be eligible to these three holidays?
Under Shops and Establishment Act generally (though it changes state to state), Sunday is always holiday until state government has given exemption. So this will be regarded as Holiday. If any of the other Two are National Holidays then you will get them. Also reliance could be taken on the Weekly Holiday Act 1942. Other then that it is matter between you and your employer.
Hi - what does your employment say? When did you start with the company? Did the company issue a Holiday List advising whether the Monday and Tuesday were paid company holidays? In our company we gave staff Monday off as a paid holiday because Diwali fell on a Sunday.
Unless there are specific rules to the contrary in your company's leave policy, you should have availed leave from 25 to 29 Oct and used the closed days as suffixes to your leave. Suffixes do not count towards your leave quota.
Had you availed leave on 02 November along-with your above mentioned leave, all days would have been debited to your leave quota.
Normally, you would get credit for these holidays and they will not be counted as leaves availed by you.
