Working Friday and Saturday: Can We Take Sunday Off Without Using Leave?

If we work on Friday and Saturday, can we avail Sunday as a weekly off, or will this count as leave?

The question is not very clear.

Understanding Weekly Off and Sandwich Leave

Sunday should be a week off in general. So, if you avail leave from Friday and Saturday, Sunday will be considered as a weekly off only.

Sandwich Leave Policy

However, if you avail leave from Friday to Monday, then most companies treat it as sandwich leave, and 4 days leave will be deducted. So, do not club leaves to avoid in-between holidays being considered as leave.

If I understand your question correctly, you worked only Friday and Saturday and want to claim Sunday as a paid weekly off.

Eligibility for Paid Weekly Off

As per the law, you get a paid weekly off after working for 6 days. Therefore, you are not entitled to the paid Sunday.

However, companies are often lenient, and you may be eligible. You need to ask your HR team.
