Leave with full pay for Flipkart delivery workers if quarantined

E-commerce major Flipkart has pledged to give delivery workers leave with full pay and benefits if they contract COVID-19 or are placed under quarantine.
Flipkart said it has made temperature screening using infra-red thermometers mandatory for all employees, vendors and visitors. Persons with suspected flu symptoms are advised to return home.
“For our supply chain and logistics network, we have organised more than 3,000 awareness sessions covering over 100k employees across all our facilities on how our employees and partners can minimize their exposure by following simple precautionary measures,” Amitesh Jha, Senior Vice President – eKart & Marketplace at Flipkart, said in a blog post on Wednesday.
