@ Rahul,
Obtain a proper medical certificate, lab reports, diagnostic reports e.g. X-ray/Ultrasound/TMT etc as ordered in your case by your doctor, from your doctor and submit leave application with copy of medical certificate under acknowledgment preferably by redg. post.
If your sickness demands bed rest and your need for leave is also genuine, you must reply in writing by a letter thru redg. post addressed to good offices of your appointing authority, MD, CEO, Chairman, Company Secretary with a copy to Head-HR, that your leave may be sanctioned and if company wants it may appoint its specialist doctor to examine you, at your location. If your doctor has indicated that you may be able to resume duty in another ….days you may verbally inform your reporting authority/HOD and record the call and keep record of call with bill.
In certain situations emails be avoided. Usually only a few selected officials of the company are empowered to use letterhead and sign on it. While even a junior HR executives can send emails. Letter thru redg. post can be a better option.
Company might have mentioned in clause of termination that your services can be terminated in case of prolonged absence due to sickness.
You may also apply your resources and arrange to be examined by doctor in Civil Hospital, Medical College which ever is available at your location and obtain Rx/bed rest from specialist doctor /Civil Surgeon/CMO. If you are not well and away from your home town/parents and you want to shift you may do so only under information to good offices of your company and arrange to supply your address. You may submit your leave application, medical certificate from your native town.
Termination during sickness may prove to be a bad order for the company and courts may not accept it.
Threat of termination during sickness is bad conduct and bad practice. If you are covered by group mediclaim policy you may inform the mediclaim helpdesk of the company and insurance company and submit initial bills for payment.
Even if your designation is “Associate System Analyst” it does not necessarily mean that you do not fall within the category of a workman. Designation alone does not decide employee is a workman or not. You may approach an experienced and competent labor consultant/service lawyer and show your appointment letter, and explain your nature of duties and your lawyer may opine that fall within the category of a workman.
