Greetings, A medical fellow, who was under a fellowship program in the surgical oncology dept of our hospital, was on leave and during leave days he resigned without a notice period of one month. He was supposed to complete two years fellowship program but he resigned before the year and deprived other prospective applicants to get the position for fellowship which is very competitive in the medical profession.
Before his joining, we issued him an offer letter. He joined us and started his fellowship in the surgical unit despite several intimations he did not come up to collect his appointment letter wherein it is clearly mentioned the notice period. Now when we spoke to him and asked about serving the notice period then he refused to serve the notice period and said that he did not collect any appointment letter from us and that he would take legal action if any deduction is done or his salary is forfeited. Though it was the responsibility of the employee to come and collect the letter of appointment. Is it necessary to collect a letter to serve the notice period? I mean this is quite common to serve the notice before leaving the org. Seniors are kindly requested to advise us in this regard. Thanks & Regards.
