Dear Deepika,

Employees cannot avail or claim sick leave for their family members as per the S&E Act. However, there are different scenarios within companies nowadays. According to the company policy, if the company allows employees to take paid leave in the case of their family members' ill health, then the employees can benefit from this provision. In such a situation, the company can adjust the employee's sick leave, casual leave, or earned leave accordingly.
