Facing an Unauthorized Absence Memo: How Should I Respond After Leaving My NBFC Job?

After one month, I joined one of the NBFCs and realized it did not suit me well. I decided to abscond and have not gone to the office since then. Now, after 23 days, they sent me an unauthorized absence memo to my address. In that, they told me to submit my explanation within 3 days. What should I do now? Should I send my resignation through mail (I cannot go to the office directly to inform them)? What actions may they take if I do not respond to the letter?

Why should you 'abscond' yourself? If you are not interested, just express your unwillingness to continue by submitting a resignation letter and get relieved.

Responding to the company's memo
Now, since the company has sent a memo, you should reply, stating that you are not interested and would like to resign. The matter is closed.

Notice Period and Clearance

What is your notice period? If possible, serve the notice and obtain a clearance certificate. This will make it easier for you to receive your salary and other dues for the unpaid period you have served.

If serving the notice period is not possible, request HR to recover your dues and provide you with a clearance certificate, experience letter, etc.

This is a fitting case for termination due to the absence of a notice period and unruly behavior.

Probation and Notice Period

The poster appears to be on probation. If yes, and if there's a provision for separation by giving one or two months' notice on 'either side,' then it is better to serve the notice period and quit by obtaining the relieving letter.

Addressing Unauthorized Absence

Since you have been marked 'absent' without approval for a leave of absence, it's better for you to report back by suitably explaining the reason for your 'absence' and regularize. When you have realized unsuitability, it's better to quit in a proper manner.
