Dear Team, please help me with the below query. If any employee tests positive for COVID and is advised to be under quarantine (home/institutional), how are their leaves managed?
Scene 1: Deducting existing leaves
Their existing leaves are deducted. If they have less than 14 days of leave, the remaining days go as loss of pay.
Scene 2: Exception for leave shortage
Their existing leaves are deducted; however, any shortage of leaves is given exceptions to protect their salary.
Scene 3: Special leave for quarantine
The entire quarantine period (14 days or more until a negative report is obtained) is considered as special leave on top of their existing leaves.
Is there any government directive on this, perhaps state-specific or applicable nationwide? Please help.

Recommending option no. 3 for personnel working in private firms, partnership firms, or proprietary firms with the requirement that affected employees must submit a quarantine certificate to regularize their quarantine leave.
