For the rest, private and IT companies in Haryana follow the Punjab Shops and Commercial Establishments Act (as applicable to Haryana) and their own policy, usually granting 12 to 15 paid holidays from the state list plus a few restricted ones. So the calendar is the same reference, but the exact paid days off can vary by company.
How do Haryana holidays affect payroll and salary?
A declared public holiday is a paid day off, so it does not reduce monthly salary. If an employee works on a public holiday, most Haryana employers pay overtime or grant a compensatory off as per policy. Payroll teams should mark each holiday correctly in attendance so loss-of-pay, overtime, and weekly-off calculations stay accurate at month end.
How many restricted or optional holidays can a Haryana employee take?
Under Schedule-II, all employees including outsourced staff may avail any 3 restricted holidays of their choice during 2026, with prior approval.
