The resposibility for aying him of 8th and 9th is his previous employers responsibility and not yours.
An employee is paid an off when he has worked for 6 days in a week (5 days somewhere). explain this to him.
An worker is eligible to get off on 6th day after working for entire week or required no of days and that too for working or giving his contribution on behalf of working for company.
As per my view, u can strongly and directly deny to pay, even he must have an offer letter from 10th onwards so before this he was employed with previous employer or was sitting at home for his own convinience.

Furtherance to what Yaasmin has suggested, that there must be a joining Report system in ur company which every new employee is required to filled up on the date of joining. If u have similar type of system then he must have filled up that form. Ask him to show in which date he has submitted that Joining Report. Joining Report is the base documents by which tenure of Service (experience) in the company is measured of an employee.

Hi,
Your Organization has counted/paid the salary right. The salary must be paid for 22 days only.
Just explain him'her that the offer letter was given on 10th (Monday) not on 8th or 9th. You were offered the job on 10th not on 8th or 9th. Also explained that after the joining you will be paid Saturdays & Sundays (According to the Company Policy), but not brfore the job offered - even if there were Saturdays or Sundays or any other holidays.
Please try to explain in a proper way and Yet the employee not want settle down, let him/her do anything, because there is no rule regarding this type of situations. Be bold.

Swapna,
Normally a company issues a person an offer letter saying that "you are required to join on or before so and so date". It is his convenience to join on a particular day. Once he joined the organization, he needs to submit a joining report, saying that he reported for duty. Hence his employment, employer - employee relation commences only from the date he joined duty. There should not be any confusion at all.
Make it clear to him.

If the joining date is 10th Jan then he should be paid from 10th to 31st. There is no question of calculating his salary from 8th Jan. After his joining date any saturday/sunday will be paid holidays but not before his joining.
What you have done is right.

I think you should tell the employee that such short term greed is not good. To me he seems to be the type that will fudge petrol and mobile bills also.

by now you should have had the common sense to know that an appointment and offer letter has a "Join Date" clause and once this join date is effective and the candidate joins work on that day, from that day his payroll begins.
If he argues for 8th and 9th, like that he can also argue for full pay from 1st of Jan...after all it is not his problem that the Month and Year Begins from January...you should know how to handle silly and stupid arguments by now....................rgrds
