I would like to clarify the following, if we are on leave for 1 month continuously do we count it as 30 days or do we exclude Sundays and public holidays ?

my query is with reference to Annexure II leave calculations, on the students training guide

/forum/files_download.asp?msg_id=252204

eg: say i take leave for the whole month of January 2011. now do i count it as 31 days or do i count it as 24 days (assuming 5 sundays and 2 public holidays)?

its uncertain but, i think the sundays are to be excluded from calculation that is while counting leave, sundays should not be counted as leave, i did the same for my application

Mr. Anirban Das,

thanks for the reply.

kindly tell me, when you excluded sundays from your leave calculation did your principal accept the calculation ?

As per the annexture II on the training guide it clearly states that

Total number of days served

Less: Total leave taken (other than weekly holidays)

Regards,

Mark

Mr. G. N. Jha,

Refering to the eg above: say i take leave for the whole month of January 2011. now do i count it as 31 days or do i count it as 24 days (assuming 5 sundays and 2 public holidays)?

Total leave taken (other than weekly holidays)

Clearly states that total leave taken 24 days (i.e 31- 7)

Other then weekly holidays (5 sundays and 2 public holidays)

FYI Many MNC's and Private companies treat one months leave as 26 Days, Even the Bonus Act, Graduity Act, etc treat a month as having 26 Days

IT IS COUNTED AS 31 DAYS.

SUPPOSE,

if a articles take 3 month leave then it will be conted as 90 days not as 75 days......

same if an employee take 3 month leave from company then it is counted as 30 days not actual working day suppose 70......... other wise employye can claim for 20 days salary without any work and presence in ofiice.

yes but if u take leave on day basis the sunday is not counted as leave

In your eg: if an employee take 3 month leave from company then it is counted as 90 days not actual working day suppose 70......... other wise employye can claim for 20 days salary without any work and presence in ofiice.

In this case we have to check whether it is earned leave or not if it is earned leave then employee will get paid for the entire perion of 70 days

Your not getting my point. Am not talking about salary. besides Companies dont pay you for sundays and public holidays its a monthly package what employees earn. most companies compute salary on 26 days ... and if you take leave for an entire month its considered as 26 days. (As per law in india it says 26 days never 30 days with regard to salary).

Now with regard to: SUPPOSE,

if a articles take 3 month leave then it will be conted as 90 days not as 75 days......

Similarly when an article takes 3 months leave as per the annexure on the training guide it says

Total leave taken (other than weekly holidays) so we should exclude weekly holidays from the computation.

So what your saying is that if i give 4 leave applications Monday to Saturday for the whole month, then leave will be considered as 26 days?
