Hi All,
I have a doubt regarding the notice period. If an employee falls sick during the notice period and doesn't come to the office for 30 days, does his notice period get extended accordingly? Or else, what can be done to handle this situation?
Please advise.

Apart from what is written by learned Aks 17, I would add that the employee needs to produce conclusive medical proof of illness. The employee has a duty to hand over his job/equipment, etc., to the company and pass on his knowledge regarding the work to the incumbent or another person decided upon by the company. He needs to fulfill his responsibilities completely, willingly working for a few days and transferring knowledge to the satisfaction of the employer.

The double standards in employment termination
Why not? When a company terminates someone without any notice, we take shelter in the law. But when an employee secures better employment elsewhere, no law, ethics, morals, or responsibilities bind him or her.
Sick leave during the notice period
To avail of 30 days of sick leave, one has to be hospitalized. He can't just stay at home and get miraculously cured immediately after the expiry of the notice period to join the new organization.
Understanding the employee's perspective
Put yourself in the position of the person you are dealing with; only then will you realize the hardships and difficulties the other person has to face.

Hi Nagarajan Sekar,
Leave during the notice period depends on your company's policy. If there is a genuine health problem, you can submit the necessary reports and avail leave. The company can relieve you by not paying the salary for that month or extend your notice period if no other employee is available to take up your work.
