Dear All,
We have a situation - One employee resigned on 1 Jan 2011 and had 2 months notice period. His LWD was approved at 1 March 2011 as per policy. Employee forced the company to make Jan 31, 2011 as his LWD. Company had not accepted and in written educated him on the Notice Period and approved LWD.
Now on Jan 31, 2011 employee bids a good bye email to all and also dint return the company property.
On interactions, employee has ordered the company to give him money else he will not return the material.
On regular interactions after 20 days, he returned the property and we proceeded with the company policies of Notice period recovery and paid him through FFS.
Pls note we have policy of no leave during notice period. Also there is no leave encashment or adjustment. we advice employees to take 2-3 PL's for family once in two months as the work nature is quite stressful and requires much of travel in job.
Please advice if employee can move ahead with any legal case against company.
