Dear All,
We have one situation here. One of our employees is on unscheduled leave since February 13, 2020.
He sends messages every two days that his mother is not well and he does not know by when he will be able to join the office. However, he does not talk on the phone.
In our HR Policy, it is mentioned that if you are on leave for consecutive 3 days without informing, the employment will be terminated with immediate effect. But he sends the message every third day saying his mother is not well, and he is not sure when he will be able to resume the work.
Can we legally terminate the employee? He does not pick up anyone's phone from the office. We tried reaching from the different numbers as well but he cuts the phone off once he knows that we are calling.
Please guide.
Thanks
Mansi
