Dear Friends,
I am new to Cite Hr and posting my question for the first time. I am working in a 4 star Resort in Uttarakhand as a Resort manager and this resort is recently opened in this state. My questions are as follows:
1. How many NH, CL,SL,EL (minimum as per law) needs to be given to the employee
2. As most of the staff are different parts of Uttarakhand, they wanted to accumulate their weekly off. So, how many weekly off can be accumulated.
3.As this is a service industry and at times we need to call staff on their weekly off and on NH so within what period we need to give him the Compensatory Off (as per law)
4. Please also let me know about the minimum wages applicable in Hotel Industry in Uttarakhand and under what act Hotel Industry falled is it Shop Act or Factory act.
Thanking you in anticipation.

Basically, hotels come under the Shops Act. Therefore, you have to refer to the Uttarakhand Shops and Commercial Establishments Act to clear your doubts. The Shops Act, being a state Act, will be different in each state. Thus, only persons who are well-versed in your state's shops and commercial establishments act can guide you properly. The provisions relating to weekly off, intervals of rest, spread over (working hours including intervals for rests), holidays, leaves, etc., are applicable to service industries. However, there are exceptions available as per separate notifications. For example, when a commercial establishment is required to be closed for one day in a week, a hotel may be given an exception provided alternative arrangements for giving a weekly off are made for the workmen employed. When the spread over including intervals of rest in other establishments is 10 hours and 30 minutes, it may be 11 or even 12 hours for hotels. I don't believe there would be any change in the number of leaves admissible. In most states, it is 12 days of casual leave, 12 days of sick leave, and 12 days of earned leave (after 12 months of working), which could be common to all establishments, including hotels. Regarding national and festival holidays, again, a state Act governs this. Most states in India have separate Industrial Establishments (National and Festival Holidays) Act to regulate holidays in private establishments. For example, the Kerala Act provides for 4 national holidays and nine festival holidays, while in Karnataka, it is 5 national holidays and 5 festival holidays, and in Tamil Nadu, it is 4 and 5 respectively. Similarly, your state would have enacted a similar Act, and according to that Act, you have to grant holidays.
Calling employees to work on a holiday is also regulated by the aforementioned Act. Provisions such as payment of double the rate of wages for working on a holiday and granting a compensatory off in lieu of the lost holiday should be in place.
Legally, there is no provision for permitting workers to work continuously without giving them rest for at least 24 hours once in 10 days. I reiterate that there is no provision for accumulating weekly offs as per the law. However, in practice, there will be many adjustments to ensure the workers are also happy.
