Hi all,

I'm working in a private security agency as an HR person. I want to know whether it is mandatory to declare a holiday for all staff on labor holidays that are being declared by the state labor department or if we can adjust that on any other day according to management's decision. Please answer me as early as possible.

Thanks

The security agencies will be covered by the Shops Act of A.P. First ascertain whether your agency has obtained any exemption from the provisions of the Act and if so, what they are, or whether the Shops Act of A.P has exempted security establishments from the Act. If not, your establishment needs to observe the national holidays specified by the act, which are mandatory.

As rightly said by sai kumar , if u dont have exeptions from the provision of the act, you have to follow it..Its an mandatory obligation.
