The Saturday-Sunday baseline is a calculation convention for ordinary weekday work, not a claim that every employer uses the same roster. Idd-ul-Fitr and Idd-ul-Adha are pinned to the 2026 Gazette declarations; future lunar dates and later special notices require a refreshed package. The Act's Sunday substitution rule is preserved and no Saturday-to-Monday substitution is inferred.",
