Dear Experts,

According to the act/law, please let me know if any personnel is on leave for the whole week (Monday to Saturday), whether his/her 7th day (Sunday) should be considered as a weekly off or a continuation of leave.

Your reply will be highly appreciated.

In our company, if a person is present one day in a week, Sunday is considered as the weekly off. However, if the employee remains absent for the whole week, then Sunday is considered as a continuation of leave. I think it depends on the policy of the company. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Dear Vkay,

The applicant is applying for a specified number of days of leave. In the given case, if the applicant has applied for six days, then we cannot include the seventh day. If the weekly off is on Sunday and the person has applied for leave for six days from Monday to Saturday, then the preceding Sunday is considered the prefix, and the succeeding Sunday is considered the suffix. In your leave policy, it is important to clearly define the concepts of prefix and suffix.

Overstay: If a person has applied for leave from Monday to Saturday with one Sunday as the prefix and another Sunday as the suffix but fails to report for duty on Monday and instead reports on Tuesday, the person loses the suffix. The two days of overstay are considered "absence." If this absence is regularized, then the extra two days of leave will be deducted.

I hope you have understood the concept of prefix and suffix.

Thanks,

If the person remains absent on the day before or after the week off (i.e., Saturday and Monday), then their weekly off is considered as leave. Otherwise, being present on any one day can designate Sunday as the weekly off.

Dear Members,

I have a different view based on a legal standpoint. A weekly off is granted to an individual if they have worked the previous six days. If they have not worked, they cannot be given the day off and will be marked as absent for that particular day off. Some companies have implemented a policy for Suffix/Prefix as suggested. However, in the case of continuous leave, extending to the 7th day, it will contradict the purpose of the policy and be counted as leave.

Thanks

Dear VKey,

Don't try to keep the members in a guessing position. In fact, your query is quite vague. Your query does not indicate whether you want to ask about daily wage workers or regular employees. Please be clear first in yourself. Thereafter, it would be better if you discuss the real problem rather than asking an academic query. Varied replies based on the guess of individual members can confuse you more than guide you.

Thank you.

To avoid conflicts, lay down a leave policy with a clear definition of weekly off and holidays. In your case, if the office is open on Sunday, then count leave; otherwise, it is a mandatory holiday, not a weekly off. Is it permitted to work on Sundays and take comp off on another day?

if weekly off come in between the applied leave period then weekly off is considered as leave. LOL (leave off leave) situation means all 3 days considered as leave.

Dear Seniors,

I request your guidance on this. Based on the understandings above, it seems there is no specific law defined under the Shop and Establishment Act for the leave of affix and prefix. Hence, it is the sole responsibility and discretion of the company policy. Please correct me if my understanding is incorrect. If there is any law stated, then I request you all to please share the same if possible.

Thanks and regards.

mr raj dubey , I think you are missing the point that paid leave is considered as work period and therefore after six days sanctioned paid leave the employee does get his/her weekly off.
