Dear all, We have an employee in our company who has resigned.
The notice period is 30 days and he has requested to reduce it to 15-20 days stating a reason for joining a new company.
Currently, there is a massive workload and we may not agree to waive off. Though he has many ELs pending. Employee is above average performer with no complaints.
Post resignation, however, he is not sitting late for work. Leaving on time by giving excuses like Dentist's appointment etc. He has refused to work on weekends. And basically, he has mentally not present in the organization.
There is no issue with theft of data or saying bad things about the company etc. Could you please tell me if we can hold his relieving letter legally in such situations? Secondly, how many sick leaves can an employee take during a notice period? Annually we offer 9 SLs and the employee has 7 SLs pending. Can he decide to take all 7 SLs in 30 days notice period post providing medical certificates?
Your reverts will be highly appreciated.
