Let’s say an employee in Delhi’s hospitality industry, working in accounts, takes a paid leave. If their weekly off falls within their leave period or on either end, would those days also be considered paid leave according to labor law? If not, which section of the law clarifies this? I need this information to share with our HR department. It’s important to know if those days count as paid leave, as it impacts the employee’s leave balance and potential savings.

Under the Indian law, weekly offs do not count towards paid leave. The Payment of Wages Act, 1936, outlines the provisions for wages and deductions, including leave. Section 12 of the Act specifically excludes weekly offs and other holidays from paid leave.
