I am a part of a software firm MNC headquartered in Maharashtra that has a notice period of 3 months.
One of our employees resigned on basis of personal reasons and mentioned his last day to be 10 days later. On 14th day, he sent an email saying he cannot continue and left.
He also mentioned that he did not have any pending handovers and company properties and asked to do his fnf by taking salary in leiu of remaining notice.
We have sent him show cause notice 2 times and he replied back saying that he has already resigned and wants us to relieve him and we are harassing him by forcing to join back when he is ready to pay the notice pay.
We do not have notice buyout policy.
I want to terminate this employee to set an example but have a few questions
1. What can he do legally in this case?
2. Can we terminate him on grounds of unauthorized absenteeism?
