07/1/09 - Wednesday
08/1/09 - Thursday
09/1/09 - Friday
10/1/09 - Saturday

* Employee takes leave from 01/01/09 - Thursday till 08/01/09 - Thursday.

*02/01/09 + 03/01/09 Friday & Saturday are also included in his leave

* 09/01/09 & 10/01/09 Friday & Saturday are again included in his leave where as he took till 08/01/09 which is Thursday.

I can understand first two week days included but last two day why they are part of his leave as those are official week days.

What does your company policy in such case

Great awakening after 4 years....

Each company has their own leave policy, some on working days basis and some on calendar days.

when u are applying for your leaves , you are only taking ur annual leaves for vacation or any other purpose, if you start your leave from friday, then the first day would be taken as a weekend off. but after a week the weekend offs would be converted to leaves as you are not eligible for that weekend off. You are only entitled for a weekly off , if you have worked in that week. Thats why its called week Offs. , The company can only consider that as weekoffs if you take a leave for only a week or so.

Yes 30 days means all weekends are also counted as official holidays even if national day comes in between or Eid :)

if your contract says 30 working days then weekends are not counted in ...if it just says 30 days...then its inclusive of weekends and any other holidays in between!!!

The labor law does not mention anything regarding this, so this is not something you can refer to.

You really need to check your contract as well as the procedures of your company. Aisha-Taweela

Some company policy is that if you were away, you were not available to work that weekend, therefore it is deducted from your entitlement.

It's all about whether you are entitled to XX working days or just XX days vacation.

My leave is 15 days after every 3 months of work. Not working days, just days, ie 2 weeks plus a day for 'travelling'

Did you Google it first?

So let me get this right...

- Say you are allowed 20 days holiday a year

- You go away from Thu 1st Jan to Wed 7th Jan inclusive

How many days holiday do you have left?

It should be 15, right? Cos you've been off work for 5 days. I'm assuming you don't work Fridays and Saturdays. That's how my wife's company works at least.

Actually an employee of ours applied only till 8th but as per company policy 9 & 10 are also automatically included as he is reporting on 11.

Contract is silent on this issue except that 30 days are permissible per year with payment

Apply for leave until 08.-1.2009 only. As you say the other days are leave days as it is already, unless you are on a shift time table.

Also check your contract. What does it say?

Weekends are counted in leaves? That's ridiculous.

Two problems:

1. If a person has taken leave only till Thursday why Friday & Saturday are included as they are official weekdays.

2. I used to work in a place where weekdays were never counted in leaves, but here it surprises me :)

I want to know other company policies also if you ppl can mention what does your company do in such cases do they count or they dont
