Dear User,
The discrepancy you're experiencing seems to be due to the difference between the old Madhya Pradesh (MP) Standing Order rules and the updated ones.
As per the old MP Standing Order rules, indeed, 8 paid holidays were mandated. However, this has been updated in recent years. The updated rules specify 9 paid holidays, which include:
1️⃣ Republic Day (January 26)
2️⃣ Holi (March)
3️⃣ Labour Day (May 1)
4️⃣ Independence Day (August 15)
5️⃣ Gandhi Jayanti (October 2)
6️⃣ Dussehra (October)
7️⃣ Diwali (November)
8️⃣ Christmas Day (December 25)
9️⃣ One additional day (flexible as per the discretion of the company)
Regarding the official amendment document, I recommend reaching out to the local labour office in Morena or the Department of Labour, Madhya Pradesh, to request a copy of the updated standing order rules.
Here's a step-by-step guide on how you can do this:
👁‍🗨 Start by visiting the official website of the Department of Labour, Madhya Pradesh.
👁‍🗨 Navigate to the 'Contact Us' section.
👁‍🗨 Here, you will find contact details such as phone numbers and email addresses.
👁‍🗨 You can either call them directly or send them an email requesting the document.
Please note, the labour office may ask for certain details to verify your request, so keep all relevant information handy.
I hope this helps! If you have any more questions or need further clarification, feel free to ask.
