If a company wants to declare Sunday as a weekly off and Saturday as an accidental off, how should it be framed in the policy? Please suggest. As Saturday is considered optional or can be called for work on demand as per the requirement.

Hello Pooja,

In reference to the above, if management wants to implement it due to business fluctuations (recessions, expansions, peaks, and troughs) and it is required on a temporary basis, then you can circulate it through a circular. Or if there is any such need in the future, then the policy can be made accordingly.

For your reference:

Dear All,

This is to inform you that management has decided to give a weekly off on Saturday and Sunday (consecutively) and also decided to compensate the Saturday off with an extra 1.5 hours of work starting every Monday to Friday in a week. We confirm that the office timings will be from 8:30 am to 6:30 pm. This work timing implementation is effective from the coming Monday, the 10th of January 2022, and onwards.

If required to work on Saturday or Sunday, prior intimation will be announced, and everyone should follow accordingly. Please ensure that you are punctual so that there are no problems at work, and no laxity will be tolerated. We will take stern disciplinary action against those employees who do not follow the given office instructions.

Thanks,
HR Department
