Dear All,

Trust all of you are safe and healthy.

Our thoughts are with those of you or your family who have been impacted by COVID. We also understand that the illness does require extra time off to recuperate or to help family members during their illness.

We are therefore introducing COVID special leave for such employees as follows:

  • 5 days: If the employee is symptomatic. This leave is categorized as Covid Special Leave – self infected and should be applied for in the ShareKonnect system separately.
  • 5 days: if the family member (parents, spouse, child, parent in law) staying in the same house are symptomatic. This should be applied for in the system separately as Covid Special leave – Family infected.

Please find attached for your ready reference, the process of applying covid special leave on ShareKonnect.

Important points to note:

  • The leave policy will be applicable for employees, retainers and contract staff at Sharekhan.
  • Both the above leaves category are applicable and can be used only once throughout the year. 5 working days for self-infected and 5 working days for family infected within the calendar year.
  • The leave has to be applied and consumed within 14 days from the date of employee (in case of self-infected) or any family member (in case of family-infected) as specified above is symptomatic.
  • The current process of informing HR about the symptoms or covid positive status for self and family members needs to be continued as usual.
  • Any unused covid special leave will lapse at the end of the year and there won’t be any carry forward of the said leave allowed.

The leave policy will be applicable from 1st Jan 2021. However, the application in ShareKonnect will only be possible for leave dates after 21st March 2021. Any COVID leave between 1st Jan 2021 and 20th March 2020, will need to be sent via an email to payroll@sharekhan.com and adjusted from the backend. All are requested to ensure that all past leaves are regularized before 20th May 2021.

Please feel free to speak to your HRBP in case of any further clarification required in this matter.

Be safe and take care of yourself and your family.
