Employee Transfer and Weekly Off Dilemma
If an employee is transferred and relieved on Saturday, and he joins on Monday, with Sunday being his weekly off, there arises a dilemma. The transferee unit claims they have relieved him on Saturday, so they cannot indicate his weekly off (Sunday) in their attendance. Meanwhile, the office he joined on Monday claims that since he joined on Monday, they cannot mark his attendance as Sunday weekly off.
What would be the fate of his weekly off? When joining time allows for 10 days, what happens to his weekly offs and gazetted holidays falling during his joining period?

Employee Transfer and Weekly Off Considerations
Even if the employee is transferred, he is still an active employee of the organization. In the above query, it is clear that the units are not ready to share the cost. Was the site that the employee needs to join open on Sunday? Was this expressly conveyed to the employee being transferred? Why should the employee suffer for the callous attitude of the office? He should be paid for the week off or the holidays in between, and the cost divided between both units.
Hope this clears the confusion.

Ashutosh Thakre is right—why should the employee suffer due to the callous attitude of the office? Please involve the Head Office to resolve the matter. Even if the units hesitate to share the costs, his salary during the intervening period (whatever it may be) should be charged to the account of the Head Office. Make the necessary changes in the Transfer Policy of the Company to handle such scenarios in the future.
