Q: Good morning. Please, I would like to ask. Can I take a sick leave certificate to be absent during the notice period? I am not feeling well and planning on taking a sick leave for two days. Will these two days be deducted from my gratuity? Also is the notice period month salary paid by the employer? Or I do work for free for the whole month? Thanks in advance

Q: Can the employee take sick leave during the notice period?

Q: My company terminated me based on articles 82,83,84 & 85 after I got a stroke in November 2019 when I was on duty and the company took me to hospital. My GM also visited me home saying that no need to submit sick leave as it will cost you every time. Once you're fine come to work. They forcefully took signature on annual leave after one month of my sickness. I was paralyzed from one side and was not in a condition to travel, still, the company issued me a ticket part of the annual leave. Now, they have terminated me and did not pay the salary to me since January 2020 nor are they paying my physiotherapy bills. They didn't even give me any notice period before termination. Please advise what can I do. I have even filed a labour complaint but it's of no use. I am a driver by profession. Please contact me. Thank you

Q: Hi, I took sick leave for 2 days, which were Monday and Tuesday. However, my sick leave was not attested and was refused by HR. In the attendance record, they marked me as absent for 3 days, including Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday. My salary is being deducted for 3 days. Can I file a salary complaint with MOHRE for illegal deduction?

Q: Dear Sir/Madam, How are sick leaves counted if an employee takes sick leave before public holidays or weekends?

Q: Hi, Is there an article related to sick leave during holidays or weekends? Should holidays or weekends be counted as part of sick leave? Thank you in advance!
