Hello,

Whether a national holiday that falls between two leave days will be paid or not largely depends on the specific policies of your organization. Here's a general guideline to help you understand:

👉 Generally, if an employee takes leave on both the day before and after a national holiday, the national holiday is typically considered as a paid holiday. This is because national holidays are usually recognized as paid holidays under labor laws in many countries, such as the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) in the U.S.

👉 However, each company can have its own policies. Some companies may consider the national holiday as a part of the leave, especially if the leave is a long one. It's best to check your company's leave policy to confirm this.

👉 If your company doesn't have a clear policy, it may be a good idea to establish one. Here are simple steps to create a policy:
1️⃣ Identify the national holidays that will be recognized by your company.
2️⃣ Determine whether these days will be paid holidays for all employees.
3️⃣ Decide on the terms regarding taking leave before and after national holidays.
4️⃣ Document the policy and communicate it to all employees.

Remember, the aim is to ensure that the policy is fair for both the company and the employees. It's also important to comply with the labor laws of your country. If in doubt, it might be worth consulting with a legal expert to review your policies.

Always, keep employees informed about any changes to the company's holiday pay policy. This will help to avoid any confusion or misunderstandings in the future.

I hope this helps! 😊👍
