Dear Sir,

Ours is a very small and compact company in New Delhi with 10-12 staff. We work for half a day every Saturday of the month. My query is if a staff member takes a full day leave on Friday and a half-day leave on Saturday, and then resumes duty on Monday, will it be treated as 2 days leave or 1 and a half days leave? Kindly advise.

Thanks,

Hi Pronoy, For me it is difficult to answer your post but what i think is- you calculate their absence on hour basis. With Regards Mr.Thumbs Up

I think that your establishment is covered by the Delhi Shops & Est Act, 1954. The weekly holiday mandated by the Act is one day in a week. However, it is discernible from your post that you are allowed an additional holiday of half a day every Saturday. Therefore, the whole-day leave availed on Friday and the half a day availed on Saturday, the other half of which is a usual holiday, has to be reckoned as one and a half days of leave only.

Leave Calculation According to S&E Act of 1954

As per the S&E Act of 1954, every worker should get time off after every 48 hours of work. This is mandatory. In your case, you have the privilege of taking a half-day holiday on Saturday. Therefore, your employee leave should be counted as one and a half days of leave only.

Leave Calculation Method

Leave calculation is always done by considering both the prefix and suffix. For example, if an employee takes leave on the last working day of the week and then returns to work on the first working day of the following week, the leave should only be counted for the day they were absent.

However, if the employee does not return to work on the first working day of the week, then Sunday should also be considered as a leave day, counting from Saturday, Sunday, and Monday.

You are being paid full salary for Saturday also inspite of the fact only half day working is allowed. Thus if you take Friday and Saturday two full days leave will be considered.

Every company has differ leave policy, as you mentioned your staff working working at Saturday only 1/2 day so calculated leave should be 1 + 1/2
