Dear Citehr Member Hr-Pratyancha-Financial,
The query raised by you has to be considered with reference to Leave Rules/Policy of your company. Medical Leave is admissible to employees of all establishments. If the Leave Rules/Policy do not have provisions for Medical Leave, then such leave has to be considered keeping in view the nature of illness and genuineness of medical certificate. The Employer can grant any amount of leave at its sole discretion. Kindly ensure that the Leave Policy/Rules have a provision for Medical Leave. At the same time it has been also correctly stated by our Expert that ESIC Sickness Benefit can be claimed by the employee if your establishment is ESIC compliant.
If you desire you can get your leave policy/rules vetted from us.
