If an employee resigns from the job due to her medical condition, which does not allow her to work the night shift, my query is, should I accept her resignation and provide experience and relieving letters? Kindly suggest on this.
P.S: The employee has signed a 1-year service agreement and is required to serve a 2-month notice period.

Hi,
It is good to accept and give her the reprieve and also settle her accounts if you feel the matter is genuine. It is only humane to consider such cases, and there need not be any rule if it is in the interests of the employee. Moreover, the night shift is not an easy work schedule, especially for women. Medical issues are bound to arise due to biological changes in the body, and even many men are getting affected by it.
You may ask her to hand over during the day shift [if that is required and viable] so that the transition is smooth, and the person taking over has no issues to start on his/her own.
Thanks and Regards

Majority of employees are resigning on the pretext of "something," assuming that the company takes them for granted. This is the perfect opportunity to demonstrate to all those errant employees that the company does not take anyone for granted. We are here solely for conducting business, nothing more.

It is up to the management to accept resignation on humanitarian grounds because the medical evidence is submitted. However, the management has the option to get harsh and ask the employee to buy out the two-month notice, but it appears as willful harassment by the management to other employees. On balance, if the employee has submitted an acceptable medical document, then the management has to take a lenient view and release the employee. However, if the management has some pending assignments or work with that employee, they may ask the employee to finish the same as soon as possible or transfer it to another employee with full details.
Being always harsh is not in favor of the employer unless an incident happens towards a breach of the code of conduct. A healthy working atmosphere can be generated with coordination between employees and employers only; otherwise, it would generate chaos and will affect the ambiance of the workplace.
