Hi,

You need to consider the Information Security policy of the company while allowing work from home. If it is not a concern, then you can allow them to WFH using remote. In fact, it is one of the good practices you can start for the future as well, as WFH provides work-life balance.

To monitor the work, they should be available anytime via internal communication channels like Skype, Slack, Teams, or any other application. Managers can ensure that the given tasks are progressing at the expected speed.

Thanks,

Hi,

As of now, if any employee is affected by COVID-19, they are eligible for 28 days of paid leave. If your employees are covered by insurance, they are eligible to claim insurance benefits even during the quarantine period. You cannot deduct amounts for work from home as they are still working for us. If you don't trust your employees, you may need to tighten your work measurement policy. Ensure that your insurance broker and TPA (Third-Party Administrator) are aware of these policies.

Dear Anil,

I think there is no possibility to work from home in manufacturing industries. Manufacturing industries have certain process sequences. Every process depends on the adjacent process. There are many criteria such as raw materials, quality checks, transportation, costs, etc.

Thank you.

Hi,

I believe everyone is aware of the current situation due to the coronavirus. If we announce a leave for a few days, will this period be considered as paid or unpaid (for someone who has no leave balance)? Please guide me according to the policy.

Dear Cyberindigo,

As per the directives issued by the Labour Commissioner's Office in Mumbai, employers have been advised not to deduct salaries of employees for not reporting to the office on account of the coronavirus. Please refer to the notice issued by the Labour Commissioner's Office.

Hi expert,

I am Yash Girdhar. My ma'am gave me this site to check out information about HR knowledge. I am currently pursuing a bachelor's in BA (HR). The question that struck me is: Can we create policies regarding natural incidents, but they should only apply when incidents occur nationwide?

Another point to consider is how to manage work when production cannot commence post the coronavirus outbreak. Developing a strategy that enables fast work recovery is crucial.

One approach could be to conduct meetings on Skype and allocate tasks through Google Docs for easy access and collaboration.

For non-compliant employees, consider implementing penalties such as a 10% deduction from their salary or reduction in bonuses. Building trust with employees is essential; if they underperform, consider motivating them with gifts to boost their morale and productivity.

These are my opinions, as I am a student, not an HR professional.

Thank you

Hi Seniors,

Can we pay only the basic salary to those employees who are not working from home (having no leave balance) for the lockdown period and also to support staff like Accounts, Admin, HR, and the recruitment team, or do we have to pay them the full salary? Please suggest.

Our Prime Minister and Chief Ministers of various states have appealed to the employers of the companies to pay full salaries, or at least as per the Minimum Wages applicable for the Scheduled Employment. I believe the IT industries fall under the Residuary Factories under the Minimum Wages Act, 1948.

Your employer will decide how much salary he/she can afford to pay you depending upon his/her financial status.
