Dear all,
Could anyone share sample policies considering the fact that Wednesday would predominantly be the week-off for most employees, with the exception for some for whom it will be on Sundays?

Cultural Variations in the Week's Start and Weekend
As the first day of the week varies in different cultures, so does the weekend. For example, Sunday is the day of rest and worship in the Christian or Western world. For Muslims, it is Friday, and for the Jews, Saturday is the day of Sabbath or worship. Thus, the weekend or weekly off signifies the day of prayer or worship in a religious sense, and from an employment perspective, it is the day of rest.
According to the international standard ISO 8601, Monday is the first day of the week, and Sunday is the 7th and final day. If you browse the Net, you will find that Wednesday is the most productive day as it falls in the middle of the week. Therefore, I am a bit confused about why it should predominantly be the week off for most of the employees in your organization.
