Help me to formulate the circular for the Earn day adjustment.

Sundays are paid holiday by my company. Due to the production load, the company operates on 3 to 4 Sundays every 2 months, so the workers have demanded that they should get double wages. The company does not want to pay them double pay as overtime hours. Also, the workers do not want to lose the same and as a result of this, the company announces Earn Day in which if a worker comes on a Sunday, he will get a balance of one day in addition to paid leave, which balance will be paid if the worker takes leave in the regular working days and the earn day is valid up to the next month.

Hi,

What you are referring is not Earned leave but Comp-off (Compensatory off) additional leave added for working on holidays.

what I understood in your situation is the communication gap. if I am not wrong.
before initiating this type of activity you should had a good hold with your team also need to discuss the production plan with your team then you must circulate it before the implementation; because this type activity belong to normal and routine work of the life. if all worked all day without any gap then how can they do their routine work ? so its is the core responsibility of the HR & Management that preintimation and circular re required also can check either 100% workforce are required or may can give the off some of them (rotation wise).

Thank you for your Valuable reply Mr. O.B Gautam.

As a factory, you are bound by the provisions of the Factories Act 1948, wherein there is a mandatory provision for weekly off, continuous work not to exceed 10 days as well as payment of overtime. It looks like these provisions are being violated and could land the company and its top officials in prosecution proceedings.
