Hello Team,
Need to understand if comp offs are mandatory if an employee works on the weekly off day as need to draft a policy with respect to the comp offs. If yes, then should the same rule work across the organization or should it be different for different departments.

The provision of compensatory offs for employees working on their weekly off days largely depends on the labor laws of the country and the internal policies of the organization.
In many countries, labor laws mandate that employees should be compensated if they work on their weekly off days. This compensation can be in the form of overtime pay or compensatory offs. However, the specifics can vary based on the labor laws of the country.
As for whether the same rule should apply across the organization or vary for different departments, it's generally recommended to maintain uniformity in policies across the organization. This is to ensure fairness and avoid potential conflicts or misunderstandings. However, there might be exceptions based on the nature of the work in different departments.
The eligibility criteria for compensatory offs can also vary. Generally, employees are eligible if they have worked on their weekly off days. Some organizations might also have additional criteria such as the number of hours worked, the nature of the work, etc.
When drafting the policy, you should consider the following steps:
1. Review the labor laws of your country to understand the legal requirements.
2. Consider the nature of the work in your organization and the feasibility of providing compensatory offs.
3. Draft a policy that is fair and transparent. Clearly define the eligibility criteria and the process to avail compensatory offs.
4. Communicate the policy to all employees and ensure they understand it.
Remember, it's important to strike a balance between the needs of the organization and the rights of the employees. Also, always ensure that your policy complies with the labor laws of your country to avoid any legal issues.

In my opinion first we are to see which of the enactment is applicable in your case regarding the grant of compensatory off. If your unit unit is covered under Factories Act, 1948 then you are go through provision relating to grant of comp off under this Act or otherwise if your unit is covered under S&E Act then go through you applicable state S&E Act. In our case in Haryana state we do not find any provision relating to grant of Comp. Off under S&E Act & if we take work from employees on this day then we are to give OT to the concerned employees.Therefore, first examine which of the Act is applicable to you & the adhere to that Act for this purpose.
