Hi,
I went through your offer letter template suggested by Mr. Md. I am interested in one of the clauses mentioned in the offer agreement in Annexure B under the section 'Termination of Service' that is highlighted below.
"Unauthorized absence or absence without permission from duty for a continuous period of 7 days would make you lose your lien on employment. In such a case, your employment shall automatically come to an end without any notice of termination or notice pay."
I wish to know if it is statutorily accepted. We are facing a serious problem with absconding employees in our company in the ITES industry. If this is legally accepted, I believe I can recommend this to my management, which will help solve our major problem. We have been informed that HR has to send 3 warning letters to an absconding person and then remove them from the rolls, which is the current practice. Due to this procedure, we are only able to remove a person from the rolls after an average of 1 month plus, which significantly impacts our business plan, productivity, and recruitment strategy.
