What Happens If I Take a Week Off Without HR Approval? Seeking Advice

I am an employee of one company. If I take leave for one week without approval, what action will HR take against me?

You can be chargesheeted and punished by the company. If your discipline history is poor, even dismissal can follow. Why are you planning to break rules intentionally??

Hi,

I have lots of annual plans in my life, so I require leave. In my leave account, I have 21 days of leave, but my manager has not approved any of my leave requests. I believe we earn money to make life easier. We are not servants of money; we earn money to fulfill our requirements. That is my belief.

Kindly advise.

Put up your need for leave to your manager in writing a few days in advance and confirm that your tasks are up to date. Then, observe his reaction. Discuss with him, and if he still creates problems, go to his boss with the situation and seek resolution. Absconding or absenting yourself can only lead to bad consequences, even if you feel justified.

On another example, if the manager does not approve my leave, and then I still take leave for 5 to 8 days and am ready to pay for it by deducting my salary, can the company fire or dismiss me?

"Can the company fire or dismiss me?"

Quite possible. They can hold a proper inquiry and find you guilty and ask you to exit. Do not challenge unnecessarily or have an alternate job, if you wish to make an issue. It is hard luck to get a boss who creates trouble when an employee asks for his earned leave. Deal with such matters carefully and diplomatically.
