Why second Saturday is declared as closed holiday by Indian government?

First Story:

This practice continues from the British Rule in India since the East India Company regime. I admit, I don't know the exact reason why it was started and exactly since when? But most probably, it may be on account of implementation of some Bye-laws of the Memorandum of Association and Articles of Association of the East india Company, when the company started ruling over different states by and by.

The Government of India, however adopted every such administrative system, as set up by the British Rule, even after the independence of India. And the system still continues. However, in the Prime minstership period of Shri Rajev Gandhi the Central Government adopted 5 days' week for adminstrative offices (not operative offices) instead of 6 days' week with every saturday closed day in Central Government offices on the pattern of the western countries. Of course it was not as a matter of copying other countries, but due to depleting foreign exchange resources due to rising prices of the petroleum products, as India was depending mostly on the import of crude oil.

Second Story: Its really very interesting reason for the holiday on second saturday every month.

There was a very sincere assisstant for a british officer during 19th century. He used to go to his hometown to meet his parents only during holidays. This routine continued for years together. As the days passed, the assisstant's responsibilities were also started increasing which made him to work more with lesser holidays. One day it so happened that the assisstant's parents came to meet their son. They went to the officer with a request to send their son on leave. Then that officer came to know the fact that his assisstant was so much involved in his work and did not find any free time to meet his aged parents. This situation made the officer to appreciate the sincerity and loyalty of his assisstant and declared holiday on second saturday of every month to go to his hometown. Eversince he made this announcement, the British government incorporated this rule and announced holiday officially. This culture has been followed by the Indian government for specific departments.

What is commercial general aggregate insurance?

There are two limits of commercial liability insurance that you need to consider when purchasing a policy. The first is what the policy will pay max for one loss during the policy term. This is called the Occurrence limit. The second is what the policy will pay out max for multiple losses. This is called the Aggregate limit. For example a policy may have a $500,000 occurrence limit with a $1,000,000 aggregate limit.

This would mean that the policy would pay out a max of $500,000 for any one claim during the policy term and they would pay out a max of $1,000,000 total for all claims during the policy period.

Is Illinois workman's comp taxable?

Hi~

It is my understanding that no Workman's Compensation "benefit" is taxable - regardless of what state.

Amounts you receive as workers' compensation for an occupational sickness or injury are fully exempt from tax if they are paid under a workers' compensation act or a statute in the nature of a workers' compensation act. The exemption also applies to your survivors.

If part of your workers' compensation reduces your Social Security or equivalent railroad retirement benefits received, that part is considered Social Security benefits and maybe taxable.

If you return to work after qualifying for workers' compensation, payments you continue to receive while assigned to light duties are taxable.

The above relates to federal income taxes. Generally, states follow the same rule, but you should check with your state's department of revenue for additional information.

If an employee is out on workman's comp for only 2 days can the employer pay the employee using sick or personal time to cover days missed?

My employer did.My sick time was used up for the first three months I was off work.You may be able to recover this time if you have an attorny. If your employer did this, he probably did it with your best interests at heart since Comp doesn't pay 100% of your salary and your sick time probably is 100% of your salary (unless you're paid tips & commission.)

Why do so many people still call workers' compensation workman's compensation -- the change was made almost a generation ago?

If you are on salary can your employer take pay away for missing work?

Not normally. Check your employment agreement

Bad answer above. Of course an employer can dock your pay if you do not work. For salaried workers who are also exempt from fed overtime rules, employers cannot dock for absences less than one full day.
