Dear Mitesh,
Kindly explain to the employee, that the salary is always counted from the DOJ. So his salary would be from 3rd August and not 1st August.
Secondly, was it said in the offer letter that he needs to join on 1st August, even by mistake and then verbally told that as it is a week off join on 3rd August. If so then it is a mistake and miscommunication from the company and you should pay him the 2 days of salary for 1st and 2nd August.

Dear Mitesh,
I don't think that there is anything worthy of expert's opinion in this simple issue. Employment/service of any employee in a particular organization commences only from the actual date of his reporting for duty/ of his joining stipulated in the appointment orders. No employer would ask a new entrant to report for duty on a holiday unless the circumstance so warrants. Anyway, the choice is normally with the employer. Moreover, weekly off arises only after rendering services in that week. So, the newly joined employee can not stake his claim for pay for any holiday or weekly off prior to his date of joining just because he was willing to join on the day of weekly holiday for the establishment.
