My hotel, where I am working right now, wants to send employees on compulsory holidays for 15 days, as the government announced the shutdown of malls, schools, and swimming pools in hotels. Many guests are canceling their bookings out of fear of the corona virus. Please tell me, can we give these holidays? The company wants to save costs, as hotels are facing losses due to many cancellations.

The coronavirus epidemic is proven to be a national disaster wherever it spreads. When the government asks you to shut down your business for some time, it's a preventive measure for public health and safety, which includes your employees as well. You can't ask your employees to work from home considering the nature of your business. Therefore, a very considerate and humane approach is expected from the employers in this critical situation.
Will an industry sink if it pays its employees for a month without work? Can't it be adjusted against future leave? Or will the employees not work overtime without wages to compensate? Compare your industry with those of public utility services like hospitals, transport, electricity distribution, civic, and sanitation where people are asked to work in the public interest despite the personal risks.
If there is a will, there is a way.

Hi Experts,
I am from Delhi and working as an HR Generalist in the head office of our manufacturing company. As of now, no positive cases of coronavirus have been found in our company. In a preventive measure, the government of Delhi has announced the closure of schools, colleges, and all educational institutions. Currently, we are not close to a situation like a lockdown. However, our employees are asking me if the company will pay their salary if they work from home. What should we suggest to our employer? Please advise, experts.
