Amrita's Correspondence with The Mother

24 February 1932

Mother,

Regarding the leave and absence of paid workers: Leave will be given only on request with a notice giving reasons. Absence other than that due to illness will be counted and wages deducted. A doctor’s certificate will have to be submitted by the employee in case of absence due to illness.

It is better, rather than deduct their pay, to put as a condition that they should replace themselves (when the leave is granted).
