I have the following query,
I am working in an IT company. Our leave policy grants a maximum of 30 days leave without pay to an employee in a year. As an exception to this, an employee who wanted to study for an MBA was granted three months of leave without pay, which ended on 15th May 2006. However, the employee did not join after that and requested further leave of around one month, which was declined by the company. A letter was also written urging the employee to join with immediate effect, but he did not. Now, he wants to rejoin our company, but we do not want to take him back. Can we deny him employment with us?
Also, what is the liability on our part to provide him the notice period and relieving letter? The employee is not willing to quit the organization; however, he is ready to settle the financial dues but wants to get the relieving letter. What should be our course of action? Can we issue him a termination letter? If so, should we provide the relieving letter?
Regards,
Ranji
