Hello,
Can anyone suggest what decision should be taken in a situation when Mumbai is declared a bandh (due to heavy rains or any other situation), and if only a few employees turn up to the office while others could not come due to transportation issues caused by heavy rains? In such a situation, should those who could not make it have that day counted as leave, or should that day's leave not be counted? What about those who attended the office?

Dear Nikhat, probably your question relates to the situation of a few employees' inability to report for duty on certain days due to a lack of mobility caused by widespread riots, torrential floods, earthquakes, and the like. When it is certain that this is an unpredictable calamitous situation beyond anyone's control, the employer should automatically treat such employees' absence as leave only. Whether to pay wages for such days of absence is a matter of magnanimity as well as the financial capacity of the employer, in addition to the number of days of absence. No hard and fast rules can be laid down in this regard. After all, the safety of human life should take precedence over production.
