Hello,
One employee of our company attended office on Oct 18 (sat) and resumed office on Oct 27 (mon). Now in this scenario, we have deducted 7 day leave, but he says it should be only 3 days, based on below:
oct 19 (sun): holiday
oct 20 - 22: 3 days Unpaid leave
Oct 23: Diwali
Oct 24: carry forward of one leave which was pending in the month of september
Oct 25: last saturday is off, but the that day saturday leave was called off (due to office extra work - and all employees came)
Please suggest should we deduct 3 day salary or 7 days.
Thanks for your help.

Interesting mix of holidays... In true policy terms the rule is quite clear...
1. You cannot mix two different categories of leaves - for example you cannot club PL and CL or comp offs to create one large bundle of leaves...:-)
2. If a holiday falls in between two sanctioned leaves then that day would also be counted as leave. So if you are off on Saturday and also on monday, then sunday will also be counted as leave. so although you have taken 2 days leave , 3 days will reflect in your leave account.
But like all policies, the final authority in the organization. A lot of organization do not implement it as strictly and are quite flexible. But the right to approve such mix rests with the organization and it needs prior permission that such approval has been given. Otherwise, norms will need to be followed.
In your case, the employee attended on 18th, so for all practical purposes his leave would be from 20th Oct - Monday till the next saturday. since again he attended office on 27th. He should actually have been deducted 6 days of leave and not 7. So even you guys have wrongly deducted..:-)
Leave is always a sticky issue and would need to be handled very delicately.
