Confused About Sandwich Leave Policy: Should We Count Saturday as a Leave Day?

Hello all, Quite a mess among the employees regarding the query on the Sandwich Leave Policy on 7 January 2023 (Saturday). In our organization, Saturday is considered a week off, and the employee is on leave on 9 January 2023, i.e., Monday.

Should we apply the sandwich policy according to the rules of the prefixed Sandwich Policy? Will his leaves be deducted for 3 days or not accordingly?

Looking forward to your kind response.

Thanks in advance,

Regards, HR

Hi, You may apply for Sandwich leave only if the employee was on leave from 6th Jan '23 to 9th Jan '23. If the employee is present on 6th Jan '23, then you cannot apply the sandwich policy as Saturday is the weekly off as per your statement.
