Holiday Determination in Consultation with Employees
What Mr. Madhu stated is correct. A little explanation on having 5 holidays in consultation with the union/representatives of employees. Festival holidays should be determined based on the majority religion of employees or regional festivals. These holidays should be notified by the year-end, i.e., December, and should be communicated to all.
