Hi
I need a clarification in annual leave for friday & official holidays. As per Bahrain law each worker is entitled 30 days as annual leave and my query is in between these 30 days if official holidays like eid & friday comes, are they excluded in annual leave or included. For example June 1 -30 is my annual leave which is 30 days, whereas in this 30 days 5 days of fridays and 3 days for EID are official holiday which is 8 days, so by July 1 my leave balance should around 8 days. Please clarify. Also please help to send me the link if any LMRA links are there for better reference
