Leave - Is Sunday Counted If It Falls Between Leave Days?

babusivaprasad

Dear Swetha,
If a sunday (weekly holiday) falls between leave days, it will not be counted as leave if the particular employee has leave available to his credit ie. if he is eligible for pay for leave days. If the employee is on loss of pay, he will loose the benefit of that weekly holiday.

Hello Ms Sharma,
Leaves are of different types e.g. Earned, Medical, Half Pay, Compensatory and Casual. If Sunday or other holiday falls between casual leave, it is not counted as leave. In case of Earned and Medical Leaves, it is counted as leave. This is being followed in Govt and most other semi-Govt Organizations. However, it differs from Company to Company who have their own leave rules.

Dear Shweta, It is depend on your Company policy. Most of the MNCs do not calculate Saturday or Sunday while calculating leave. But again it depends on Your Company policy.

Hi Swetha, In this case Sunday should be considered as Holiday. Sunday/Holiday will be considered as leave if employees takes EL/PL. It depends on company leave policy. Regards, Vidyaranya.

Everybody is harping upon company policy. But no body is talking about why and how a particular policy is decided this way or that way?

My question to all those who are suggesting that Sunday or weekly off should not be counted as leave is : will you pay 4-5 weekly off day's salary to employee who remains on Leave Without Pay for entire month ?? In case both Saturday and Sunday are Weekly Offs, will you end up paying for 8 days salary to employee, though he has not worked for a single day in a month ??

Mainly and mostly in the IT Companies there is no trend exist that Saturdays and Sundays to be considered as leave if it comes in between the leave. And that's how we plan our long leaves or holidays, along with work and employee also needs some time for his family and himself.

Yes it depends upon the policy of the organization. But if the applicant has applied for casual leave then sunday will not be counted. If it is other types of leave such as medical or earned leave then sunday will be included.
