I want to understand how the prefix and suffix leaves work, especially when there is a public holiday in between. I am looking to grasp all aspects related to prefix and suffix leaves.

Prefix and suffix denote the weekly holidays occurring at the beginning or end of the leave period, respectively. Generally, all organizations pay for them, and they are not counted among the days of leave availed. The same is the case with any public holidays; they could be prefixed or suffixed to any leave period and would be paid for and not counted as leave. However, if it happens to be during the period of leave, it will be counted as a leave day.

I didn't understand you. Please provide examples with one public holiday and one general day off if employees take holidays.

Let us consider the last week with the following conditions:

Weekly holiday - Sundays (9th, 16th May, etc)
Festival holiday - 14th May (Id-ul-Fitr)
Second Saturday - 8th May (Additional off day in a month)

If the employee avails leave from 10th to 13th May and reports for duty on 15th May, he/she gets paid from 8th May to 14th May, 8th & 9th May being prefix and 14th May being suffix. However, if the employee does not report for duty on 15th May, then 14th May is counted as on leave as well. If the employee reports for duty on 17th May, then 16th May is suffixed to the leave availed from 10th to 15th May.

I hope this is clear.
