Hi,
I have resigned from the organization on 4th Sep '18, serving a 15-day notice period. I have been extensively traveling, which has caused health issues, and based on this, I informed them that I would pay the recovery amount but requested to be relieved. However, my HR is threatening me, stating that she will abscond and terminate me if I do not serve a 45-day notice period.
Kindly suggest, as a relieving letter is important for my career.

You should have to serve the notice period, but if you are unable to continue, you can request the HR person and ask him/her for your full and final settlements. Ask him that you are ready to pay notice period charges. In this case, as per company policies, if the employee could not serve the notice period, he/she should have to pay the company for the remaining days (notice period).

I have already given in writing that I will pay back the amount of recovery. However, despite this, I am being forced to serve a 45-day notice period. If I fail to comply, she will label me as absconding, terminate me, and withhold my relieving letter. I am being threatened with this.

Hi Sunita,
Your HR is only trying to show her angst on the replacement issue. Otherwise, as you have stated that due to extensive travel and correlated medical reasons you are quitting, accepting to buy back the notice period was not being digested by her. Maybe replacement is the only issue to her, kindly approach her one more time or else then her superior and get the clearance accordingly.

Convey your reply that due to health issues, you can complete the notice period but cannot handle outdoor travel work. You are ready to serve the notice period by doing ground work or office work. Let them decide what comes next.

Dear Colleague,
If there is a condition in the appointment letter regarding the notice period or salary payable by either party, then I fail to understand the insistence on notice by HR. However, now that you want to quit due to health reasons, it would be advisable to serve a 45-day notice period to satisfy the idiosyncrasies of HR and leave on good terms.

Hi,
It would be better if you took an appointment with the HR to try to sort out the issue across the table with all the supporting documents like medical history and issues cropping up due to frequent travel, etc. This might help in convincing the HR that it is a genuine case. Otherwise, it would be better for you to go by the contract of employment and obtain the relieving letter, as it is important for your career. There is no point in confrontation as you have decided to quit and want the letter.
Thanks and Regards

Hi Sunita,
If you are genuinely leaving because of health reasons, get a doctor to certify it. Attach the certificate with your resignation and get the same delivered to HR and obtain an acknowledgement. Also, write another letter addressed to HR with CC to your MD, requesting permission to quit without completing the notice period and your willingness to give 1 month's salary in lieu of notice. I am sure this will get you the desired result.
Thank you.
