Dear all,
Please suggest, can we terminate an employee (worker category) if he refuses to resign, who is not covered under ESI and has been working for the last 23 years in the organization? Currently, he has been on unpaid long medical leave (unauthorized absenteeism) for more than 1 year and 5 months approximately. His previous records also indicate a habitual pattern of frequently being long absent without obtaining prior sanction or intimation. Despite numerous absenteeism letters issued, each time in response to these letters, he submits medical certificates from MBBS doctors citing various reasons for illnesses such as fever, skin problems, stomach issues, etc.
Please assist me in determining the appropriate course of action.
Regards,
Anil Saini
