Should sundays intervening the exam leave period taken by the articled assistant during the articleship period considered as actual days worked or as leave taken .

Even in the Training Guide but for the below example (wherein leaves taken exclude weekly holidays) no reference has been made to determine the nature of sundays.

According to my principal Sundays should be included in leave taken.

Following is the illustration in the Training Guide provided by the Institute.

Illustrative cases of computation of leave for 3 ½ years of articleship training

Case IV

A. Total number of days served (365×3.5) 1277

Days

B. Less: Total leave taken (other than weekly

holidays) 200

C. Actual Period served 1077

D. Entitlement of leave (1/6th of the actual

period served) (1077/6) 180

EXCESS LEAVE: (B - D) 20

Could you please give me any documentary evidence of any rule as such

Please help on the above matter and send your reply on vallabhapatil007 @ yahoo.co.in

Thanking you in advance.

HI Vallabh,

U r right. Even if u take casual leave or study leave for other courses on a continuous basis,then also u should exclude Sundays from it.Convince your principal by taking a hard copy of that illustrative page of training guide & still he odes not get convinced then call up in the institute & tell ur boss to talk with the institute. But dont sign on the relevant form if he does not agree...otherwise ur leave will unnecessarily increase.

All the best.
