Understanding Holiday Pay in India
India has three national holidays (Republic Day, Independence Day, Gandhi Jayanti) plus state holidays. The Factories Act specifies premium pay for holiday work.
Statutory Protection
India has legal requirements for holiday pay. Employees are entitled to premium compensation for working on public holidays.
Common Practices
Workers in factories receive double wages (2x) for holiday work.
Special Rules and Considerations
Festival holidays are compensated according to establishment policies.
How to Calculate Your Holiday Pay
The standard formula for calculating holiday pay in India is:
Holiday Pay = Hourly Wage × Hours Worked × 2
Example: Worker in India
A worker in India earning ₹25/hour working 8 hours on a public holiday:
- Holiday rate at 2x: ₹25 × 2 = ₹50.00/hour
- Holiday pay: ₹50.00 × 8 hours = ₹400.00
- Regular pay would be: ₹25 × 8 = ₹200.00
- Extra premium earned: ₹200.00
Key Considerations for India
- Check your employment contract for specific holiday pay entitlements
- Collective agreements may specify higher rates than statutory minimums
- Some industries may have additional holiday work restrictions
- Compensatory time off may be offered instead of or in addition to premium pay
