The list of mandatory festival holidays for private factories in Gujarat is governed by the Gujarat Industrial Establishments (National and Festival Holidays) Act, 1969. According to this Act, every worker is entitled to a total of eight holidays in a year - three National holidays (Republic Day, Independence Day, and Gandhi Jayanti) and five other festival holidays that can be decided upon by the employer after a due process of consultation with the workers.
The Act also stipulates that the list of festival holidays should be displayed in the factory premises before the start of the year and a copy of the same should be sent to the local labour authorities.
Here is a step-by-step action plan:
1. Review the Gujarat Industrial Establishments (National and Festival Holidays) Act, 1969 to understand the legal requirements.
2. Consult with your workers to decide on the five festival holidays.
3. Prepare a list of the eight holidays for the year and display it in a prominent place within the factory premises.
4. Send a copy of the list to the local labour authorities before the start of the year.
Additional tips:
- Ensure that the list of holidays is displayed in a place that is easily accessible to all workers.
- Keep a record of the consultation process with the workers for deciding the festival holidays.
- Make sure to send the list of holidays to the local labour authorities in time to avoid any penalties.
Risks:
- Non-compliance with the Act can lead to penalties.
- Not consulting with the workers before deciding the festival holidays can lead to disputes.
What to avoid:
- Do not decide on the festival holidays without consulting with the workers.
- Do not forget to display the list of holidays in the factory premises and send a copy to the local labour authorities.
