Hi,
My query is: suppose a RH or a Fixed Holiday (like Independence Day) falls on a Sunday or Saturday (weekly off), is it mandatory to give a compensatory off? We are a design firm based in Noida.
Thanks

Dear Member,
Certain states have separate statutory provisions for National and Festival Holidays. Under this Act, 4 National and 6 Festival Holidays are mandatory. If any holiday falls on a weekly holiday, the management can substitute some other holiday for the benefit of employees.

Dear Subin,
As per the Shop and Establishment Act, any industry has to provide a minimum of 9 holidays. Out of these, 4 are national compulsory holidays, and the remaining 5 can be national or local festivals based on your company head's decision. If 2 national holidays fall within the same week and 2 on Sundays, you can extend your festival holiday to 7 days. I hope you understand the information provided.
Thank you.

NATIONAL AND FESTIVAL HOLIDAYS DURING 2010
Regulation with regard to the grant of paid holidays to employees is governed by the Karnataka Industrial Establishment (National & Festival Holidays) Act 1963. The minimum number of holidays provided as per the amended Sec.3 of the act is "TEN" days in a calendar year, of which 26th January, 15th August, 2nd October, 1st May Day, and 1st November are compulsory. However, compulsory declaration of holidays on May Day and Kannada Rajyotsava are not obligatory for Central Public Sector Undertakings, who need to observe a minimum of eight paid holidays in a calendar year.
If any of the compulsory holidays fall on the holiday, even then the same has to be declared as a Paid Holiday, as in the case of these holidays "substitution" does not arise.
For any clarification, feel free to contact.
