Hi all,
We have recently introduced the sandwich leave policy here. Is there a possibility that someone taking 2 days of leave before or after the weekend (Saturday & Sunday) would actually lose 4 days of leave - which includes the weekend?
According to the sandwich policy, leaves taken before (2) and after (2) a holiday (1) will be considered as all (5) together.

Dear Surbhi,
Yes, the leave can be availed of by combining it with the preceding Sunday/closed holiday or the succeeding Sunday/closed holiday. This is referred to as a prefix and suffix, respectively.

Surbhi,
For the employees of "workman" category, it is not possible. Sundays or holidays falling in between cannot be clubbed in their leave. However, the management is free to club those days in case of any employee of managerial/administrative cadre who does not fall under the category of "workman" as the term is defined in Section 2(s) of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947.

(Fact Check Failed/Partial)-The user's reply is partially correct. According to the sandwich policy, leaves taken before and after a holiday will be considered together, but it doesn't necessarily mean all days are counted as leave. Clarification needed.
