Navigating Medical Leave Pay for Employees Temporarily Shifted to Part-Time: What’s Fair?

In the event that an employee was temporarily transferred from full-time to part-time work for a period of three months for personal reasons and experienced medical complications during that period, and took an eight-day leave of absence, can we change his eight days of medical leave and give him his full pay for the eight days when he works a part-time job? Alternatively, should medical leave be cut in half? Please assist in guiding and compiling the salary.

Leave Entitlement for Part-Time Employees

A part-time employee will have the right to all types of leave, including medical leave. For a part-time employee, the time they work is considered a full day. Therefore, whenever they take a leave of absence, it should be treated as a one-day leave. It cannot be considered a half-day leave.
