I have a query regarding the case of an employee who is absent the day before and the day after a holiday, such as Diwali or any other holiday designated by the company. Should the company pay for that holiday salary or deduct it from his/her salary? Is there any law governing this situation? Please provide details, as I am new to this subject matter.
Difference Between Types of Leave
Another query I have is, what is the difference between Paid Leave, Casual Leave, and Holiday Leave?
Thank you.

If an employee is absent before or after a holiday or weekly off, in that case, the holiday or weekly off is converted into leave if leave is available; otherwise, it will be considered as unpaid days. An employee must be present for one full day or at least half a day before or after a holiday or weekly off.
Paid Leave
Paid Leave (PL) is calculated based on the working days of an employee. The formula is one day for every 20 working days as per the Factory Act of 1948.
Casual Leave
Casual Leave is a general leave for any emergencies, personal work, etc.
Holiday
Paid holidays such as 15th August, 26th January, and 1st May are mandatory.
Thank you.
