Hi, If Saturday 19.8.23 is working day for you then Saturday should be considered as leave. Otherwise sandwich will not apply as the employee is reporting back to work on 21.8.23 Monday.

As you are working 5 days a week then the employee will be treated as only 3 days leave, Tuesday is holiday and Saturday & Sunday are week off

Yes, in the scenario you've described, the concept of sandwich leave would be applicable.
Here's why:
You are taking leave on consecutive working days, which are 16th, 17th, and 18th August.
The weekend (19th and 20th August) falls between these leave days.
You return to work on Monday, 21st August.
Since the leave is taken between two non-working days (weekend) and the employee returns to work on the next working day (Monday), this situation aligns with the concept of sandwich leave. This means that the employee is essentially "sandwiching" their leave days between two non-working days.
However, please keep in mind that the application of sandwich leave can vary based on company policies and practices. It's advisable to consult your organization's HR department or refer to your company's leave policy to ensure that you are following the correct leave procedure.

Admittedly, the employee has availed of leave on three consecutive days followed by two holidays on Saturday and Sunday and he returns on Monday. To my understanding, there is no case for sandwich leave in the given facts. When an employee takes leave of two days or more and a holiday falls in between, then that holiday is considered paid leave under the sandwich leave policy. For example, if an employee takes two days of leave on Saturday and Monday, then the middle Sunday will not be considered a holiday.
It could only be a sensible policy that employee could prefix and/or suffix holidays to the period spent under leave.

This is not a real case for providing a solution to your problem. 17th Aug - 21st Aug is yet to come.
However, I can answer to your query
If an employee avails leave on 16th, 17th and 18th and reports for duty on 21st (19th Sat & 20th Sun are offs for your company), then the total number of leaves to be debited is only 3 days.Very simple. Question of sandwich leave does not arise.
