A worker is paid for 26 or 27 days in a month. If a paid holiday falls on his weekly off day, I want to know whether his weekly off will be counted in attendance or not. It was declared a paid holiday.

A paid holiday falling on a weekly off-day will not be counted as an attendance day, and there is no need to pay extra wages. However, if it is a working day, then the holiday will be counted as a working day and must be paid for. Since the employee has worked on all six days preceding it, they will receive wages for the weekly off cum public holiday. However, if they have not worked for the full week, then they are to be paid extra wages for the public holiday.

Subject: Re: Week Off Falling on Paid Holiday

A paid holiday falling on a weekly off day will not be counted as an attendance day, and there is no need to pay extra wages. However, you may have to compensate this with one paid holiday as per your policy or create a policy for such cases.

Hello All, Thanks to all for the valuable contributions. However, I am still not satisfied with the answer. Actually, I wish to quote an example.

Example of Wage Calculation

In October 2012, there were 5 Wednesdays (week off). So, 26 working days + 5 week offs = 31 days. But workers are paid for 26 days only. In our company, the 24th of October was declared a paid holiday.

Question on Wage Calculation for Absence

My question is, if a worker is absent on the 20th of October, then for how many days should I calculate his wages? Will it come to 26 days out of 27 days or 25 days out of 26 days? Since we have declared the 24th of October as a paid holiday and we have to show it on the muster roll, but it falls on Wednesday, and normally, week-offs are not paid to workers.

Kindly guide me on this issue.

Regards,
Parag

Dear Mr. Parag, In your question, you have written that he has worked for 26/27 days, so he is a Daily Paid Worker. In that case, he is not getting wages for the weekly off; hence, he is entitled to pay for Paid holidays.

In this case, there are 27 paid days, and the employee is to be paid for 26 days. As he was absent on the 20th of October during the week starting from the 17th of October, the absence on the 20th does not affect the status of payment for the week starting from the 24th. Regarding the 24th, he gets extra wages as it is a paid holiday for him. I stand corrected from the earlier comments as more information is available now.
