Dear HR Professional,
My name is Varaprasad, and I am working as an HR Executive. I came across a situation where we had to work on a Sunday due to our annual meet. On that day, our management informed me that we would be provided with a compensatory leave. One of our employees took leave from Saturday to Wednesday and requested to consider Saturday as compensatory leave. Now, my question is, should we consider Sunday as a leave or a holiday? Please help me with this.
Thank you.

Dear Mr.Prasad, In this case Sunday treated as Leave only. For availing Sunday as Holiday an employee should work on Saturday or Monday. Regards, Ramesh Rao HR-SPML

I understand in your case the regular weekly off is on Sunday. If yes, did the said employee work on Sunday? If yes, have you agreed to provide him one Compensatory Off (CO) in lieu of the Sunday he worked? If yes, does your leave policy allow a combination of Casual Leave (CL)/Sick Leave (SL)/Paid Leave (PL) with Compensatory Off (CO)? If yes, does your leave policy allow leave other than Casual Leave (CL)? If not, consider the Weekly Off (WO) as leave if it falls between the absent days. If yes, he can be given Saturday as Compensatory Off (CO) and Sunday as Weekly Off (WO), and he will only have to apply for three days (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday) of leave. Normally, in the case of Casual Leave (CL), the day off in between is not counted as leave.

Dear Prasad,
Greetings for the day.
In this case, Saturday should be treated as compensatory off, and Sunday should be treated as such. From Monday to Wednesday, he will be entitled to leave. Last but not least, leave should always be granted against working days, not against weekends and holidays.

My name is Andrew. I work in a hotel, managing operations. I have an employee who was given a first warning for taking leave without permission from a superior. Now, we are planning to issue a second warning letter because the same employee took a 4-day medical leave in 4 different places. The leave included the first day at a government hospital and the following three days at various clinics. How should I go about drafting this warning letter? Thank you.

Dear Mr. Varaprasad,
From the facts you have stated, it may be inferred that you have a 6-day week pattern and as a special case, you all worked on Sunday, which is supposed to be the weekly day of rest. If so, the benefit of Compensatory Off will only be available to those who had actually worked on Sunday. For employees other than those who attended the annual meet, Sunday will be treated as the weekly rest day only.
With regards

If any holiday gets "sandwiched" between your leave period, it would be treated as a part of your leave, be it a Weekly Off or any other holiday.
If the holiday is prefixed or suffixed to your leave period, it will remain as a holiday.

Well, in any case if an employee need to work on Sunday that is actually a weekly off day so employee should have an option to go for compensatory leave.

Dear Mr. Varaprasad,
I understand from your statement that your management decided to grant one day compensatory off to those who attended the annual meeting on Sunday, which was the weekly off day, treating it as a working day. Alternatively, it was a simple alternate day for the weekly off. If it was considered a working day attending the meeting, the employee shall be entitled to overtime in addition to compensatory off.
