ELECTION DUTY ON HOLIDAY

I AM AT PRESENT WORKING WITH A PSU BANK AND BEEN ASKED FOR ELECTION DUTIES, BY CEO, N 24 PGS, WEST BENGAL. UNLIKE OTHERS I WAS CALLED FOR 1ST TRAINING ON A SUNDAY (MY WEEKLY HOLIDAY), AND OTHER ON FRIDAY (GOOD FRIDAY - MY ANOTHER HOLIDAY).

THE USUAL800/- TOWARDS TA, AND OTHERS HAVE BEEN PAID TO PAY FOR WORKING AS  A 1ST POLLING OFFICER.

MY BANK MANAGEMENT HAS REFUSED TO COMPENSATE THOSE HOLIDAYS IN ANY MANNER WHATSOEVER !!

MY QUESTION IS WHETHER THE DISTRICT ELECTION OFFICER CAN CALL ME FOR ELECTION DUTIES ON MY HOLIDAYS, WITHOUT COMPENSATING FOR IT ?

WHAT ARE THE LAWS / REGULATIONS EMPOWERING THE DISTRICT ELECTION OFFICER, TO CALL ME FOR DUTIES ON HOLIDAYS, WITHOUT COMPENSATING FOR IT.

PLEASE HELP AND ADVISE

Yiou are entitled to TA DA from election authorites for the Election duty as well as for training and collection of material, as pe ryou r entitlement.  There appears to be no remedy as powers of electoral authorities are unfettred.  You are not the first and last such employee. Many Govt officials attend to election duties on saturday/Sunday.
