Weekly off is a day in a week where employees are allowed to rest. Employees need sufficient rest depending on the work they do. Usually companies allow employees to rest for 1 or 2 days in a week. Most of the companies have weekly off during the weekend.
But, some companies have factories which never stop working. In such cases, different groups of employees are assigned to different weekly off days; some have weekly off on Mondays, some others have weekly off on Tuesdays and so on.
