Puducherry Industrial Establishments (National and Festival Holidays) Act, 1964

This law requires employers in the Union territory of Puducherry to provide specific national and festival holidays to their workers. It mandates one day off for events like Republic Day and Independence Day, along with three additional days for local festivals chosen by inspectors. Crucially, the Act ensures that employees receive their regular wages even on these days off, regardless of any employment contract stating otherwise. It also requires employers to display holiday schedules and report them to government inspectors to ensure compliance with these labor rights.
