Hi, I want to clarify whether management can replace an old employee who is entering the notice period with a new employee.
I also want to understand how management/HR can designate someone on sick leave as LWP (Leave Without Pay), even if the individual has a balanced leave account.
Please assist.

Dear malikpmailk,
Yes, management can make a new employee come to work even if the old employee is still around, serving his/her notice period. This practice, however, has both pros and cons. Advantages can include a proper handover and some form of training from the old to the new employees. A disadvantage is that the old employee (who may be a disgruntled employee) may "poison" the new employee. Please weigh the situation first before deciding on a course of action.
All sick leave must be supported by an official medical leave certificate from appointed company doctors. If an employee has complied with the sick leave policy and procedures (i.e., getting a medical chit from HR to visit a doctor, informing HR/their own department/their own superior within the stipulated timeline about sick leave, and submitting the official medical leave certificate to HR upon returning to work), management/HR CANNOT report it as leave without pay, even when there is still a balance in his/her annual leave entitlement.

Dear malikpmailk,
Is your friend doing a 100% commission-based sales job (i.e., no basic salary but only commission, which is given only when a sale is completed)? This is the only situation that the salary slip can be zero. He should continue to seek an explanation from HR or his/her boss even when there is no response.
