Hi All,
I wanted to know what actions can be taken against an employee who quits the organization without giving any prior intimation, besides blocking their salary. There was no clause mentioned in the appointment letter provided to the employee regarding this matter. Can someone please assist me by sharing the industry standard practices?
Thank you.

Dear Sharmila,
You are to go through the service conditions or the standing orders applicable in your unit for taking legal action in the matter of absenteeism. If both situations are not there, you may proceed further according to the principle of natural justice. You should issue a notice regarding his absenteeism. At least give two to three reminders to join his duties along with his explanation, stating that if he does not respond, then it will be presumed that you are no longer interested in his services, and your name will be struck off from the rolls of the unit considering the case of self-abandonment without any further notice in the matter. Finally, you may strike off his name w.e.f the date mentioned in the final notice and intimate the same to the employee/worker, asking him to collect his full and final dues after submitting the no dues certificate. If we consider the absenteeism misconduct, then we shall have to conduct the domestic inquiry by appointing an E.O., which is a lengthy process.
