Leave and Holidays Overlap: Should I Get Those Days Credited Back?

I was on leave since October 25th. Our office was closed on Sunday, October 30th, Monday, October 31st, and Tuesday, November 1st. I joined the office today. Should I be eligible for these three holidays?

Under the Shops and Establishment Act, Sunday is generally considered a holiday, although this may vary from state to state. It remains a holiday unless the state government has granted an exemption, making it a recognized holiday. If any of the other two days are National Holidays, you will also be entitled to those. Additionally, reference can be made to the Weekly Holiday Act of 1942. Apart from these regulations, any further arrangements regarding holidays should be discussed directly 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 receive credit for these holidays, and they will not be counted as leaves taken by you.
