Hey! About your query on salary deduction for Sunday when leave is taken on Saturday or Monday:
What the law says:
There is no specific law that mandates deduction of salary for Sunday if you take leave on Saturday or Monday.
Typically, Sunday is considered a weekly off or a holiday and should not be deducted unless the company’s HR policy or employment contract explicitly states otherwise.
The Minimum Wages Act, 1948 (Section 18) talks about maintaining registers and records but does not regulate leave deductions or weekly offs.
Factories Act, 1948 (Section 54) mandates one day weekly holiday for workers, but again it doesn’t speak about deductions if someone takes leave adjacent to a weekly off.
Practical and legal perspective:
If your company policy or appointment letter clearly states that if leave is taken on Saturday or Monday, Sunday will also be counted as leave, then it may be enforceable as a contractual condition.
But if there is no such clause, Sunday should not be deducted.
For paid leave entitlement, if your company has none, then unpaid leave deduction can be made only for the actual days of leave, not the weekly off unless specified.
What you can do:
Check your employment contract and HR policy regarding leave and weekly offs.
Request a written clarification from HR.
If needed, refer to labor authorities or labor courts in your state for specific advice.
Unfortunately, I don't have a direct government PDF on this specific issue, but you can check official labor websites like:
Ministry of Labour & Employment: https://labour.gov.in/
Factory Act and Shops & Establishments Act applicable in your state.
