Is there any law for medical leave for infectious diseases?

Hi...if anyone is suffering from Chicken pox..and taken leave for three weeks with doctor's advice. is there any law for this medical leave for infectious disease?? Or this leave will adjust with employees PL,& CL.

How can you adjust this againsgt PL or EL/CL. If your company givens SL,
please adjust this against SL. If yyour company don't have,
make a proposal to management to grant him as Extra ordinary leave.
Thanks

I am curious, if you asking this as an HR, an employee who is affected by it or just generally want to know ?
Work place hazards and safety sets guidelines on communicable diseases . What have been mentioned in your employee handbook about it ?

The employee can take Medical Leave paid by ESIC if covered under ESIC, for further detail the employee can contact the HR/ESIC Consultant of the company.
Further more the employee can also adjust his/her CL/PL/SL if they have enough leave balance in their account and even can club any two leaves too, if the company permits to. It purely depend on the Company Leave Policy

I asked as an employee. As my company adjusted my PL,CL and also made it LWP. There are not mentioned at all about communicable disease in our company hand book.

The is no rule for Medical Leave as such apart from Maternity, whatever leave you take will be adjusted against available leave balance and the rest will be treated as LWP/LOP

Any sickness beyond three days should justify with medical certificate irrespective of any disease. If a employee suffering from sickness, he should send a sick note to his employer mentioning probable days required to recover and when he returns for duty he should submit Medical fitness Certificate . The period on which he was on leave on medical ground, his period of absence should be considered with available sick leave at his credit and then adjust with Privilege leave if available. The remaining days to be treated as leave without pay. In certain genuine cases, the employer can grant advance privilege leave at his discretion and so granted advance leave shall be adjusted in next year leave account.
