Hello All, I have a query: if one of my employees takes leave on Saturday and then rejoins the office in the second half of Monday, does the Sandwich Law apply to him? (Note: Our company applies the Sandwich Law if an employee remains absent on Saturday and Monday.) Your prompt reply will be highly appreciated.

In my company, the Sandwich Law is also applied. As an easygoing boss, in a case like the one in your company, it will still apply. How about your company?

The basic premise is that for the sandwich rule to apply, the employee must be working either on the preceding or succeeding day. That is, from the end of the previous day to the beginning of the new day. Otherwise, it will affect attendance and availability, which would adversely impact the organization.

Hi, As the employee reported back second half of Monday Sandwich leave policy should not be applied in his case.

Since the employee remained on leave during the first half of Monday, Sunday will be counted as a leave day. Under normal circumstances, casual leave (CL) will not be counted for sandwiching. However, if he has taken a half-day CL, then he can benefit from sandwiching the holiday.

Hello, in your case, as the employee reported back in the second half of Monday, then sandwich leave should be considered.
Sandwich Policy
Further, the sandwich policy holds no legal provision and restrictions. It can be followed by any company/employer as per terms discussed with the employees or as per the company's standing order/leave policy. This can also vary from company to company.

Hi, There is no such legal provision or restriction related to the Sandwich Policy. This policy is followed by companies according to their standing order or leave policy, and it varies from company to company. From my viewpoint, it applies only when one remains on leave on both Saturday and Monday.
