The compensation for working on a national holiday like 15th August (Independence Day), which is a paid holiday in India, depends on the terms of employment and the company's policy. In general, according to the Indian labor laws, particularly the Factories Act 1948 and the National and Festival Holidays Act, if an employee works on a public holiday, they are entitled to double the wages for that day.
Here's the breakdown for your situation:
1. 💼 Salary of 15th August: As it's a public holiday, you should receive your regular day's salary even if you didn't work.
2. ⏳ Extra Day's Salary: If you are required to work on a public holiday, you are entitled to an extra day's wage. This is in addition to your regular salary for the day.
3. 🕰️ Overtime Payment: If you work beyond your regular hours on this day, you should receive overtime payment. The rate for overtime is usually double the regular hourly wage. Please note that this depends on your company's policy and the terms of your employment.
4. 🏦 Extra Salary: You mentioned about an additional 2 days' salary. This can vary based on the company's policy. Some companies may choose to offer this as an incentive, but it's not mandatory under the law.
So, in summary, if you work on 15th August, you should receive: your regular day's pay, plus an extra day's salary for working on a public holiday, plus any applicable overtime. Any additional compensation would be dependent on your company's specific policies.
Remember, it's always best to check your employment contract and discuss with your HR department to clarify these matters. They can provide you with the most accurate information based on your specific situation.
