Dear Team,
I need your advice on a crucial issue.
One of our Area Sales Managers in Hyderabad, who joined three months ago, recently informed us via email that he's unwell and needs rest on his doctor's advice. He's seeking clearance from us to take time off. However, he hasn't discussed any problems with his manager prior to this. Now, the manager refuses to accept his resignation and is pushing for legal action.
According to company policy, he's still in his probation period and should give a 30-day notice if he wants to leave. But he insists he can't continue working. Our Head Office is in Chennai, and he's based in Hyderabad.
I've reached out to him and encouraged him to meet with his manager so we can sort out the clearance. However, I'm unsure of our next steps. Additionally, he's agreed to come in this week, but his manager now says he's not available and asked the employee to come in next week, causing confusion.
Given these challenges, especially with our HR Manager's resignation, I'm finding it hard to manage.
Your input on this matter would be immensely valuable.
