I Am In Probation Period And On Sick Leave From Last One Month And Want To Leave

Hi,

I joined a very big private company (10,000+ employees) 3 months ago and have been on sick leave for the past month. The company has paid me the salary for this month as well. Now, I want to resign without returning to work.

What actions will the company take, and do I have to repay the salary for that one month, in addition to the 15 days' notice period salary?

Thanks for your suggestions.

I would like to suggest that you approach your reporting manager and HR to discuss your situation promptly. Inform them of your health condition and submit your medical leave application. If HR and your line manager have no issue with your extended medical leave, there may not be a need to rush into resigning. However, if you are still considering resigning, be aware that your company, or any company for that matter, has the right to recover the notice period salary.

The company has paid your salary in good faith for the period you were not on duty. It is not proper to leave the company without following the due process. Approach the HR and your reporting authority and explain your predicament.

Hi Pon,

Thank you for your response. I am ready to pay all the dues to the company. Is there anything else I need to clarify with the company? I don't want to get abscond or blacklisted. It's one of the world's largest telecom companies.

Dear Friend,

It would be better for you to go and meet with your HR. It might help you to make an appropriate decision. If you are a genuine person, you can consider returning your salary to the company. This gesture could leave a positive impression of your character, and you may be able to maintain your good reputation even after resigning. Sometimes, they may not ask for the full salary in return; it depends on the circumstances.

Hi,

In case you pay back all your dues and 15 days' salary, ideally there should be no problem in giving you a relieving letter. Please read the offer/appointment letter carefully and follow the same.

Send an email to the concerned HR clearly stating your intention and then call him/her. Please end on a positive note. All the best and get well soon.

Hope this helps!

May we kindly know why you do not want to continue working there?

Hi, thank you for your question. I appreciate your interest in understanding the reason behind the decision not to continue working at the current place of employment. It is essential to address concerns openly and constructively to foster better communication and potential resolutions.

Hi Simhan,

The main reason is that I am not liking my job profile.

Dear Nancy,

Please give us more information. What do you mean by you do not like the profile? If the profile was to your liking, would you like to continue in the company? Was the reason for your going off sick, so soon after joining the company, related to your job profile?

The fact that the company paid you for the month that you were off sick indicates the generosity of the firm's terms and conditions. During my 50+ years of working experience, I have not known any organization that gave sick pay for the whole month after working there for 2 months. Are you fit to work now?

Not knowing the terms of your appointment, it is difficult to give you sound and precise advice. Like others have already suggested, please contact the HR of the firm and explain that you want to quit and are willing to pay whatever is due.
