Covid-19 Leave Policy in Telangana Factories

The Telangana Factories Act does not prescribe special leave for Covid-19. It is up to the company management to decide on sanctioning Covid-19 leave. Since Covid-19 was declared a pandemic, it is suggested that employees affected by Covid-19 may be given paid leave for treatment and quarantine periods.
