Leave is applicable to every employee irrespective of his salary or role. You have to follow the leave rules as per your state rules in this regard. If Factories Act is applicable to you, then there is no sick leave under the Act but only earned leaves is available. He can take the leave earned by him in the preceding year.In case yours is not a factory but is a commercial establishment, the state Shops and Commercial Establishments Act speaks about different kinds of leaves. Under Kerala Act there is a provision for 12 days' sick leave. This is in addition to 12 Casual leaves and 12 earned leaves. similar provisions are available in other states also. That should be given.

You did not tell us whether yours is a factory or commercial establishment. The leave as per these Acts differ. If you belong to a category of establishment to which sick leave is admissible as per relevant Act, you should give sick leave. The Act will say how many sick leave is available every year. You have not mentioned in which you operate. Please post these details so that we can help you.

If that person is ESI covered employee and he submits sickness report then he will get sickness benefit in cash from the ESIC. In such cases you need not pay for these 8 days.
