Concerned About Training Leave Policies for Medical Emergencies? What Steps Can You Take?

If a YP is pursuing 40 days of training, the standard rule is that he cannot take consecutive leave for more than three days. If he gets hospitalized for almost a week due to a serious illness in the last few days before the exam, the YP has to face the BTO, where he will be on leave until he is assigned to a new batch.

Concern about privileged policy for medical emergencies

My concern is, isn't there any privileged policy for such incidents? The YP has to face consequences unintentionally and unwillingly despite all due efforts.

Steps to take when no new batches are assigned

Also, if the concerned team says there are no new batches despite new batches coming every month, what steps should be taken?

Importance of Expanding Abbreviations

While using organization-specific abbreviations, their expansion needs to be indicated in the post. Otherwise, it could have disastrous consequences. What does YP or BTO mean?

Handling Absences During Training

From what could be gathered, for genuine reasons, a trainee couldn't attend sessions for a few days, including the exam at the end. Now, you have to wait for your turn, request the concerned authorities, and provide proof of reasons for absence. You will have to beseech for favorable consideration, as that seems to be the only plausible way.

Hello sir/ma'am,

Apologies for the inconvenience! "YP" stands for young professional and "BTO" stands for batch transfer outsourcing. Despite submitting all the mandatory/genuine documents, the organization initiated a batch transfer, stating it is a standard procedure to be followed. He also served a month waiting for batch assignment with requests; yet there's been no response from the team.

Again, you have used terms that no one outside of your organization will know. What is a Young Professional? What is a Batch Transfer Order? How does it affect the person?

Is he still getting paid a salary, or is he considered to be on leave without pay? In fact, has he even joined the company?

Just because another batch has started does not mean he will automatically get into it. The trainees were probably allocated well in advance, and the batch may just be full. Is it possible for him to appear for the exam directly? It should be if he has missed only a few out of 40 days of training.

Apologies again for my unawareness of what you mentioned in the very first line of the initial paragraph. Yes, the trainee has joined the organization, and he will be on leave without pay. He had completed his training well and missed just three days of the session, which was conducted during the time he was hospitalized. Hence, the mentors put him in a batch transfer.

Standard Process of Batch Transfer

Could you also please inform me about the standard process of batch transfer? As per my knowledge, there are no specific numbers of candidates in one batch of the same technology. Therefore, there could be chances of the trainee being selected in the recent batch. Please clarify if I may be incorrect.

I am not sure what you hope to get from this group. (I still have no idea what a batch transfer is)

Understanding Internal Company Processes

First, you are talking about an internal process of a company (name and industry we don't know, so we can't even make a comparison if we were qualified in the first place).

Whether a training session can have a fixed number of candidates or the batch is flexible also depends on the company, trainer, type of training, and other limitations we know nothing about. Even if it is flexible, whether to add more candidates to a particular group is the internal decision of the company.

The company decides its procedure, and there is nothing an external person can add. I do not know your relation or locus standi in this matter. Are you the candidate, HR, friend, what? Do you have a right to interfere? Can you talk to the management or senior HR manager? What exactly is your position in this?

Key Points to Consider

1. If he has already joined the company, then he will get paid. That is the law. Check the appointment letter. He must be paid at least equal to minimum wages. If you are mistaken and he has only been asked to do a training course and his joining is subject to passing an exam, then he is not entitled to be paid. So you need to be sure that he has actually joined the company. Any training the company gives after joining is considered a working period, and the employee gets his salary for that period.

2. If he has missed only 3 out of 40 days, why can he not appear for the exam on his own and pass it? If he can't, then the company is justified in deeming he is not employable. But in such a case, they need to terminate him. Or they still have to pay his salary. If they suspend him, they are still required to pay a part of his salary (if he is actually employed).

I had someone who came for an interview and has been on the bench for 5 months waiting for the next project, and he was paid a salary for the full period.
