Hi,
It's a little bit confusing whether you were on leave on Friday and Saturday or you applied for leave on Sunday. By the way, please read this:
In case of Casual Leave:
- Saturday + Sunday + Monday = 2 days of leave
- Friday + Gazetted Holiday + Saturday = 2 days of leave
In case of Earned Leave:
- Saturday + Sunday + Monday = 3 days of leave
- Friday + Gazetted Holiday + Saturday = 3 days of leave

Hi,
Please tell me if an employee who is on probation and wherein he is not entitled to any leaves, takes leave on Friday and Monday (Saturday and Sunday are weekly off), how many days will he be on LWP (leave without pay)? Will it be 2 days or 4 days.

Any leave will be governed by the company's leave policy. If your company considers Saturday and Sunday as working days, if a person applies any kind of leave on Friday and Monday, otherwise only Friday can be a leave, not two days.

Dear Mr. Umesh Choudhary,
I extend my gratitude to you for providing information about the leave policy. I have one more query: Is there any law? If yes, under which act are the leave rules being formulated?
Thanks.

Dear Umesh,
Example:
Saturday and Sunday are the weekly offs in an office. If an employee takes leave on Friday, then only the Friday leave is deducted. Similarly, if they take leave on Monday, then only Monday is considered as leave. However, if they have taken leave on both Friday and Monday, then Saturday and Sunday will be counted as leave and not as the weekly off.
In short, you have to be present either on Monday or on Friday. This rule is followed by most corporates, while a few others may have different policies. Since most employees take leave either on Friday or Monday, some companies deduct Saturday or Sunday, or both days, depending on their policy.
It depends on your company policy!

Dear Tina and others,
We are not talking about your company or my company here; every company has different standing orders, operating systems, policies, etc., but none of these companies can avoid compliance. Whatever answer I have given in my last post is as per the Central Government rules. Also, the leave cases differ in different types of leaves, i.e., casual leave, earned leave, etc.
I hope it's clear.

Hi,
Please also consider the following examples regarding manning in most of the Indian giants and MNCs where they do not differentiate between CL and PL:
- Weekly Off! Paid Holiday! Leave = Count leave as 1
- Leave! Paid Holiday! Leave = Count leave as 3
- Paid Holiday! Leave! Leave = Count leave as 2
- Paid Holiday! Weekly off! Leave - Count leave as 1

Hi Umesh,
Well, Umesh, I agree with your leave rules which you have posted last. However, I also agree with Tina's reply because in any case, if you apply for leave for Friday and Monday, and suppose Saturday and Sunday are your weekly off days, then your leave will count as a 4-day leave. This is, of course, in accordance with any company's policy.

Dear Umesh,
I learned a lot from your comments. Could you please explain the procedure for when a person applies for a 15-day leave, for example, from the 1st of September to the 15th of September? Do we need to consider Sundays as part of the leave period? (Our weekly day off is on Sunday).
On the other hand, what are the necessary components that should be included in defining a leave policy for an organization?

Hi,
Amazing question. First, tell me, which is the company that allows 15 days of leave at a stretch (lol). Actually, leaves aren't given in such a long stretch except for medical/sickness leave, leave without pay, or maternity leave.
I assume 15 days of continuous leave means earned leaves (I am assuming that many companies allow earned leave to be taken at a stretch for the benefit of the employees). Thus, in your case, all weekly offs and holidays falling between 1st and 15th September 2007 will be counted as leave. Also, if the employee doesn't report on the 17th (as the 16th is Sunday), that Sunday will be counted as another leave.

Hi,
Sorry, I forgot to answer the second part of your question. While formulating a leave policy, we need to keep in mind three important things:
First, it must comply with State Government/Central Government rules and regulations and must adhere to them while calculating leaves, etc. For your state rules, you may refer to the Shop and Commercial Establishments Act of your state to know how many minimum and maximum leaves can be given to an employee in your state.
Second (optional), the formulation of the leave policy should be made keeping in mind the benefits of the employees rather than the employer's.
Third, the leave policy should be formulated in such a manner that it doesn't hamper the business, smooth working, or the objectives of the organization.
These are only my personal views.

Dear Umesh,
Thank you so much for the reply. One employee was asking for 15 days' leave due to ill health, and he was under the probation period. Since this person can't complete the probation period successfully, does he have to start his service from the beginning?

Dear All,
Can anybody explain to me how many leaves will be counted in the following case: Weekly OFF-Leave-Holiday? Is it considered as a 1-day leave or a 3-day leave? I know it differs as per company policy. Let me know the leave count for the above case in the maximum industry. Are there any central Government standards for such cases?

Dear tsramamurali,
If you take leave on Friday along with your weekly off on Saturday and Sunday, it would be treated as 1 day leave.
Normally, the prefix and suffix of a weekly holiday, a national holiday, or a public holiday would be considered along with the allotted holiday.
For example, let us consider Saturday and Sunday are your normal weekly holidays.
If you are taking leave on Friday + Saturday + Sunday = 1 day leave.
If you are taking leave on Friday + Saturday + Sunday + Monday = 4 days leave because you have taken leave as both the prefix and suffix to the normal holidays.
Let us consider that you have a public holiday on Thursday.
If you take leaves on Thursday + Friday + Saturday + Sunday = 1 day leave because you are taking a suffix leave to the public holiday and a prefix to the weekly holiday (Saturday and Sunday).
If you take leaves on Thursday + Friday + Saturday + Sunday + Monday = 4 days leave because you took a suffix to a public holiday, which would not be considered, but you have taken both prefix and suffix to the weekly holiday.
Hope this example would be of some help. ;)
Kind regards

Dear All,
Leave policy differs from company to company. In some companies, if leave is taken on Friday and Saturday, Sunday, and you are not present on Monday, they count only two days as leave, whereas in some, it is counted as four days of leave.
The example you have mentioned is if you had taken leave on Friday and Saturday, and Sunday are weekly holidays, so ideally, it should be considered as 1 day of leave. However, if your policy states that the succeeding days are also counted as leave, then it would become a three-day leave.
You may seek clarification from your HR regarding what your leave policy states.
