National & Festival holiday need not be considered for PL/EL, but a weekly -off falling in between the leave period can be considered and thus 3 days EL/PL shall be applicable.

EL is earned leave calculated on worked days for daily wage workers or minimum wage-based employees. Falling on a weekly off cannot be considered as EL. If there is a CTC structure in place and leave and wages are being calculated, including weekly offs, public holidays, etc., you can include the weekly offs as PL.

National holidays should not be considered as leave, even though they come in between. For festival holidays, it may depend on your company's HR policy manual or the letter of appointment/contract. If this is specified and signed as acceptance, you can take the leave.

Any organization must have a clear-cut policy regarding Festival and National holidays as well as their combination with other types of leave. If there is a State National and Festival Holidays Act or provisions in the Standing Orders that are applicable, they must be complied with in formulating the policy. A legal consultant can assist you in this regard.

When the organization has designated these holidays as non-working days, how can certain employees be deprived of them simply because they have combined them with additional leave days in their account?
