That's not right, you can make a complaint at the Labour Department.
****CASE B
Hi
If staff taking unpaid leave from Friday to Tuesday, how many days salary should I deduct? (we are working on alternate Saturday off basis). Should it be 4 days (exclude Sunday) or 5 days (include Sunday)?
Thank you.

It is up to the employer to decide since unpaid is not a right.
Sir, my question is, should or should not i deduct the salary of Saturday and Sunday is my staff apply UNPAID LEAVE on Friday AND Monday instead of Friday TO Monday.
Thanks.
If you approved his unpaid leave application that way without any condition to say whether Saturday and Sunday to be paid or not, then Saturday and Sunday are to be paid. If you don't want to him to do that next time, let him know clearly before applying for such leave.
previously the HR already informed (verbally) to those who wish to take unpaid leaves that Sat ,Sun and Public Holiday will be considered as no-pay if Sat, Sun, Public Holiday are to be squeezed in between their unpaid leaves. But recently one of the employee called to Labour Office, asked the Labour Officer does the employer have the right to deduct her salary of rest day and off day as she is a monthly rated employee (based on the case above: she took unpaid on Friday and monday). The answer she get from the officer was, the employer has to pay her on rest day. In the case if the employee lodge a report to Labour Office, does the Labour officer have the right to ask the employer to pay back the employee ( salary on Sun & Sat ) and force the employer to change the company policy so that employer has to pay on Sat & Sun?
