Good afternoon my valued friends! I am faced with a confusing situation and would really appreciate your views on it.
One of our staff members was formally informed of his termination on 31st March 2021, post which he was given a 30 days notice period by the company, as per HR policy which he was serving. He served it from 01.04.21 to 16.04.21.
However, from 17th of April, he has left the station for leave about which he had intimated us on 25th March via mail. He has been on leave since.
Please note that the said employee does not have any leaves with which to adjust any absences during the notice period.
My query is- is the company liable to pay him for the full month of April. i.e. till 30.04.21 despite his absence from 17.04.21 ?
Or, can we pay his notice pay till 16.04.21, being the date he last worked in an office?
Can employees take leaves during this type of notice period? If there is any reference to this in any Act, do let me know.
Kindly share your views on this so that I can proceed accordingly.
Looking forward to your valued response.
