Am a federal govt worker and presently on leave,to resume ending of February.
We just count 30 working days excluding weekends and pub holidays.thats all.But it's only recently my parastatal approved for us.we used to include weekends.

Try and read your company policy, company policy will determine whether your leave may or may not cover weekend.

Majority of the points here are correct. BUT however, IF you work weekends, it must be included.
Airport workers,
Eatery workers,
Factory workers who work weekends,

Just to mention a few

iamjavadem:
That's a scam, I have never heard where leave days include weekends. Your office must be a very toxic place. Better look for a better company to work for, this one is a slave master.

If it's in the public service, it's working days.

No weekends and public holidays on annual leave

what about Saturdays ? we work Saturdays and is included in our annual leave schedule

Depends, confirm whether your organization operates on ‘working days’ or ‘calendar days’ in assessing its leave.

No

Am presently working with Dangote Cement plc, have spent almost 15yrs with the Company. My annual leave always have weekend days included. So if it's private sector weekends is always included. I don't know of civil servants.

I'll advise you to ask your direct supervisor/manager.

No, no weekends

Your annual leave does not include weekends and or public holidays. While applying for the leave state how many days leave you are to proceed, state the date your leave begins calculate the days and exclude weekends and public holidays state the date your leave end and your date of resumption. The problems I have come to realize about most employees is either they don't know there rights or they don't understand how it works. I have faced similar situations in the past and that's the approach I use since most of them are not wise enough to calculate their leave without holidays and weekends and I never had issues. In most cases the HR will be silence the moment they realize you don't know are to do the calculations.

NO

Dear NLs, please I need your guidance on this issue. I am on the verge of applying for my first annual leave with my present employer. But the information I have gathered from my colleagues at work have it that the company usually count weekends as part of the annual leave days.

Note that in my employment letter, it was only started at I shall be entitled to 28 annual leave days and also that the company usually work Monday - Friday.

Is it right for the company to count weekend as part of my annual leave days? And what does the Nigeria Labour Law says about this?

Thank you all for your anticipated guidance

You will have to get that information from your staff Handbook. It will be stated there. All organisations are not the same. What applies in Company may not apply in Company B. So my advice is for you to refer to Staff Handbook

It depends on the organization. In most cases it's the working days annual leave affects. Employee handbook usually specifies the nature of your annual leave whether weekends inclusive or otherwise.

No, only working days. You will remove weekends and public holidays

Get in touch with your HR and stop asking stupid questions on Nairaland.

What happens when we tell you weekends are included or not included?

Na new year be dis abeg.

No in a better system.

But some workaholic system no even send you.

Salary is slavery.

You must have applied sparrogatively. That's why 1

No. Only working days. It excludes weekend and public holidays.

Damnnn niggar

There is no weekend days like Saturday and Sundays in annual leave

The days included are Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday

Now this how it is done

If when you are on annual leave and there comes a public holiday declared by the government
Then you will have to add that number of days declared as public holiday to your annual leave days

Bro, I thought you are a keyboard warrior, how come you know all these things. I hope you are not civil servant disguising here and a keyboard warrior.

Anyway good to know.

People who have never worked a day are the ones answering this question.

If your employer says calendar days then weekends are included. If they says working days, then your weekends are excluded.

Be guided accordingly or be prepared for a query. Common sense says you should confirm from old colleagues instead of coming here.

@bold
You are a bloody liar.

You can speak only for Dangote group and not the entire private sector.

No weekends or public holidays. Work days but I usually use my leave if there is a public holiday let say am doing my leave in December and there is a public holiday I will not count the public holiday as part of my own leave

VeeVeeMyLuv:
No

Your leave is 28 working Days excluding weekend and public holidays.

number 1 is right. The second one is wrong. Nigerian labor law approves 6-12 working days. It is up to the organisation to determine the number of days.

Oh okay
Thanks

Since your employment letter states you work Mondays through Fridays then your vacation days should not include weekends. But in my place of work for example, the security men, though outsourced, have weekends counted in their leave days because they work on weekends.

Yes weekends and public holidays are inclusive

No sir... Greetings

Annual leave refers to approved time off work. So logically, it would only apply to workdays (i.e. the days you should be at work.)

If the worker works 6 days a week, (e.g. Mon - Sat), then Saturday, would not be a weekend, and it would count as part of his annual leave.
