Though sandwiching of holiday is not permitted as per Factories Act the establishments coming under the scope of the state Shops and Commercial Establishments Act need not follow it. the basic reason why Factories Act do not allow sandwiching is that there is only one type of leave, ie, earned leave under Factories Act and that also availing of leave earned is permitted only for three time a year. under this situation many establishments will have their own leave rules better than what is provided under the Act. Accordingly there can be more EL, say 1 days for every 15 days worked or even 1 days for every 10 days worked, 12 days CL, 15 days sick leave etc. While drafting such leave rules it is open to have a provisio that any person who takes leave prefix and suffix of a holiday will lose the holiday or the holiday will also be counted as leave. However, in the absence of any additional leaves other than that provided under Factories Act, you cannot clothe a rule that sandwich holidays will be counted as leave.
In the case of establishments covered by Shops and Commercial Establishments Act, there is no specific mention about the treatment of CL, PL or SL ( This is true in the case of Kerala, Karnataka, Tamil nadu, and a few other states and I am not sure about various other states, but I presume it should be like this only) and as such you can have an interpretation that PL being a kind of leave which is taken as per a plan and obviously for an absence involving more than three days (again the days is also subject to defense) for spending a vacation, going for an outing, marriage in the family etc, any holiday coming in between two PL should be counted as leave. Similarly, if you are sick on Saturday and again on Monday, it can be presumed that he will be sick on Sunday also and it is not that one person will fall sick only on working days. As such, in the case of SL also sandwiched holidays can be counted as leave. On the other hand, casual leave being a leave taken to meet some engagement of very casual nature which may not even require a full day absence from the work place like visiting a public office, there is a possibility that the employee may be contacted over phone for various clarifications from the office. In such cases he is present as an employee through out and if he needs to take the leave suffix the holiday, the holiday need not be counted as leave.
The above logic can be applied to maternity leave also.
