Hi all
I need HR professionals valuable suggestions and comments in the following situation:
One of my friend is working in quasi-government for the past 20 years without any remarks or memos issued to her.
By 15th of May she was assigned to PA to GM (IAS Officer) By 14th of June she took leave (properly applied also informed her Boss by mobile) for 10 days - for her sons little finger surgery. On 14th her son got admitted and after scrutinizing and seeing the scan report etc. Dr. advised her there is no immediate surgery is required.
(Meanwhile on 16th of May she got transferred to factory some other department.)
Hence my friend canceled her leave and next day she joined her duty giving a joining report etc.
GM issued a show cause notice stating "you have canceled the 8 days leave and why disciplinary action should not be taken against you"
Do you think this is legal and what kind of action you will be taking? when an employee applied 10 days leave and canceling 8 days and joining early etc. is against the labour law???? Is this a good HR practice?
As an Sr. Manager HR I am very much surprised for this kind of action.
I do want to know about your suggestions and comments.
