The ministry stated:

In addition to the salaries, the ministry also emphasised on companies to also document early leaves granted to employees. Furthermore, the temporary or permanent salary amendments are also advised to be monitored.

This is not the first time the ministry has opted to make such a bold decision as previously on May 11, the MoHRE also intervened to allot more holidays to employees who were showcasing signs of coronavirus during the start of the pandemic.

As the pandemic curfew is being lifted around the globe, normal timings in offices, malls, parks and other places are being restored.
