Forcing employees to take unpaid leaves due to COVID-19
My company has placed all of the employees on unpaid leave due to the COVID-19 situation.
Can they legally do this without even paying our basic salary or expenses?

Dear Questioner,
The company has to agree with the employee about any process taken on current circumstances, such action is illegal as per the law.

Dear Client,
As per the Ministerial Resolution No. 279 of 2020, this is legal but it should be agreed between the employee and the employer.
