Dear Indu,
It depends completely on your organization's decision, but ideally, if working hours for Saturday are 4 hours and someone is absent for the day, then it will be considered as a full-day absence only.

Dear Indu,
It depends. Why has your management specifically chosen the first and the third Saturdays only as working days, and that too half a day each? Are all the employees required to work, or just a skeleton staff? Are these two half working days intended for any interaction between the field/branch staff and the head office? Is this practice part of any collective bargaining agreement with the employees? Only answers to such questions regarding the practical and factual issues in your organization can provide an appropriate response to the query raised in the thread. My personal view would be to consider any leave taken on such a half working day as a whole day's leave to ensure the achievement of the purpose of this arrangement.

I worked in an organisation which observed Saturday as only 1/2 day, but leave on the day meant full day leave i.e one day.

Even if the working hours are decided as 4 hours for a day, one should not confuse it with half-day working. Working for 4 hours means operations for the day will be active for 4 hours as decided by your management. However, if anyone decides to take a leave, it will not be considered as part of the working hours but will be counted as an absence benchmarked against working hours in an organization, leading to a full-day leave.

Hi,
It depends on the Leave Policy of your company. In general, half-day working is treated as a full day of work, and any leave taken or absence from duty is considered as a full-day leave, i.e., one day.

What does your policy say about the matter of Standing Orders? Do you receive half pay or full pay for working on Saturday? Is Saturday working counted as half or full when calculating leave or gratuity? Should any absence on Saturday be considered as a full day if you receive full pay for that day?
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Dear Colleague,
Treating one day's leave for absence of half day on Saturday has sound logic. Firstly, for a half day of work, the salary is paid for a full day, and secondly, to discourage employees from taking leave on half-day working Saturdays.

Dear Colleague,
Treating a full day's leave for a half day's absence of half-day working on Saturdays has sound logic. First, for working half-day on Saturdays, full salary is paid. Second, to discourage employees from taking advantage of availing leave on Saturdays even though it is made half-day working.

Hi Indu,
I second Umakandan in his views. Also, ideally, it will be considered as a full-day leave. Even though you work reduced hours on the mentioned Saturdays, those days are considered as one business day ethically. Nonetheless, you can go ahead and speak with your management and try going the extra mile by considering leaves on Saturday as half a day, provided you have a good Leave Management tool. Good luck!
