Employment Status and Notice Period Deductions: How to Handle Sick Leave and Accidents?

Hi. Is an employee who has been with the company for more than the probation period of six months considered permanent even if a confirmation letter is not given?

And then, if an employee leaves on medical grounds and immobility because of an accident, should we deduct salary for not serving the notice period?

Ours is a proprietorship, and we are covered under the Shops & Establishment Act in Mumbai.

Thanks,
Kaye

Dear,

Please don't add to his misery. Please close the issue by making his F & F as you should be lucky he does not go to WC court.

Hi,

I have gone through your query, and it is obvious that deducting the notice period is necessary for the employee. Whoever the person is, they need to be in the job for at least one month until another person takes over their job or responsibilities. This is the purpose behind the notice period. The notice period should be determined by the position they held when they resigned.
