Abscondence and Resignation: Understanding the Implications
The query seems to justify abscondence as the right thing after the submission of resignation through email with a medical certificate. However, abscondence from duty is an act of misconduct on the part of the employee who does so. Resignation becomes effective only when it is accepted, and the employee is relieved upon its acceptance by the employer. No resignation would be accepted by the employer if the employee fails to comply with the predetermined notice conditions for unilateral exit. If the employer formally proceeds on the ground of abscondence or unauthorized absence, the employee can be dismissed from service. Probably, the poster is aware of the stigma attached to an order of dismissal from service.
