Hello wonderful people…
I have a concern,
previous years what we do is to put 9 holidays per state depending on the holiday list and put 3 days as restricted, application depending on the employee.
now, a line manager suggested that 4 will be mandatory holidays and the 8 days will be restricted,
can you share the pros and cons that you see on this proposal and also with the previous one?
appreciate your revert. 
Hi Ludy,
It is actually like this… There should be a total of 13 holidays in a year. Out of which 4 are Restricted Holidays & 9 are state specific holidays which we can choose from state govt approved holiday list in accordance to your organizational needs… Also, these 9 days should fall on a working day. If it falls on a Sunday, it is not accepted.
the 4 Restricted Holidays are Jan 26, May 01, Aug 15 & Oct 02.
Once this is finalized, it should be given to the labour officer. He will review it and send a Form 3 which is to be displayed in your notice board for any objections/suggestions for 10 days.
Please do call me in case you have any doubts.
Thanks and regards,

thank you for this. @payofkoc ,
One more question.
Is an employee entitled for a holiday pay, if the employee worked during a public holiday declared by the government but was not part of the holiday list of the company?
Hi @Ludy,
If the employee works on a public holiday, even though it is not declared by the company, we will need to pay him double the pay i.e. one Comp_Off and one day’s pay. So, he will get paid for 2 days.
Thanks and regards,
