The main agenda behind this study is to know about the impact on employees of all government departments having the same 2 days off (Saturday and Sunday) in a week on Maharashtra government decision on 5 days work in a week. The impact will be seen on employee’s take a separate leave for their personal work-related with another government department (like personal bank work, paperwork in the income tax department, post office work, court-related work, and etc.). It is a general observation and has also been found that the 5-day work decision will prove good news for government employees if the government make 1-day common holiday (e.i. Sunday) and separate 1 day holiday off for different department of state government so that employees get time to do their personal work which is related to another government department. A qualitative and quantitative research has been done to know about the facts related to different 1 day off a week. This study revealed the fact that there is a need for different days off so the employees will not be needed to take extra leave for their personal work. They manage their work within weekly working off time. A separate holiday off shift is vital for employee’s better life.
