If the Finance Department approves this demand of the bank union, then the bank customers may have to face some problems because now the banks will remain completely closed on Saturdays as well.
Bank Employees Holiday: In this digital age, everyone has a bank account. In such a situation, if there is any need or problem related to the account, then people go to the bank. At present, banks are open for five days in two weeks and six days in two weeks of every month. But according to the reports, the bank holidays are going to increase from the last month of this year i.e. December as the banks are going to implement the five-day work week rule. During this, banks will now remain closed on both Saturdays and Sundays in the week.
Holidays will increase in banks from December?
According to reports, bank unions have always been demanding that bank employees should get off on all Saturdays of the month. The union had taken this demand to the Indian Bank Association, which has been accepted by the association. This means that the demand of the bank union to work only 5 days every week has been met. However, the union still needs one more nod.
What is the proposal of five-day work week
Reports also claim that the Indian Banks’ Association has sent a proposal for a five-day work week to the finance department. For this, the permission of the Finance Department is necessary. If the Central Finance Department approves this proposal, then banks will work only five days a week.
Five-day work week rules
According to the information, the Central Finance Department can say OK to this proposal. If this happens then the bank employees will not need to work even on the first and third Saturdays of the month. However, after this, the working hours of banks will increase in a day, due to which the employees may have to work extra 45 minutes on all five days of the week.
What will be the result?
Let us tell you that, if the Finance Department approves this demand of the bank union, then the bank customers may have to face some problems because now even on Saturdays the banks will be completely closed. However, due to all kinds of services available on digital platforms, it does not seem to have much impact. On the other hand, if the customer has work in the bank itself, then he will have five days every week and some extra time available every day.
