Hi, I met with an accident on 31st Jan in the evening after office hours. I fractured my leg and had surgery. I have informed my office and told them that I will be joining after recovering. I have requested for some more time, but they are asking me to resign. Please help.

Dear Abhishek,
What has happened with you is quite unfortunate. Every person has to pass through a bad patch of life. This is your bad patch. "They" means exactly who is telling you to resign? I recommend you write a letter to your MD. Attach a medical certificate to the application. Let them keep you on LWP but keep you on the roll.
Thanks,

Since you seem to be working as a software engineer at the grassroots level and are considered a technical person, you may be covered under the definition of a workman of the ID Act. Forced resignation is unlawful termination. You need not resign; instead, send a registered protest letter to the MD enclosing an application for the grant of leave on medical grounds along with the original medical certificate from a doctor, preferably from a civil hospital, advising bed rest. State that you are being unlawfully pressured by HR to resign solely due to an accident you had on a specific date. Such unfortunate accidents can happen to anyone, and you expected assistance from the company. Await a response. Read the thread titled "Forced to resign due to my hip fracture."

Forced resignation would be unlawful. Additionally, the company should acknowledge that the accident occurred while you were returning from work and is related to your work in some way. Simply communicate with the higher management, explaining the issue with documentation, and request them to retain your employment if necessary, even if it means without pay.

HR cannot ask you to resign without valid reason. You can even fight it in court. Keep the documents safely and approach a labour lawyer....

I agree with all of them and I disagree with all of them.
Currently, your health is important so please take care of yourself. If your company has decided not to continue with your services, they will not change their decision. If you file a case, they may hire you, but you may not receive the same respect or position within the company. It is advisable to resign and look for another option; don't burn bridges.
All the best. Hope it helps.

Yes, the solution suggested above is the optimum one, but not everyone is fortunate enough to secure new jobs when needed. Meeting daily expenses can become challenging in many cases. This situation persists even when an employee has reluctantly accepted the harsh and inhumane decisions of the employer and begins the search for a new opportunity.
The laissez-faire era was eventually compelled to change, leading to the enactment of legislations. These laws were implemented to safeguard the interests of low-income employees during dark times when unemployment rates were soaring. Even today, the scenario remains largely unchanged. It's essential to note that the struggles are not limited to employees alone; HR professionals also face their own grievances.
Refer to the thread titled "Forced to resign because HR raised voice in interest" to understand why many individuals raise objections and voice concerns. The apprehension stems from the anticipation of enduring hardships for themselves and their families, with uncertain timelines. While offering the suggested optimal solution may provide some solace, the pressing question remains - who will provide for their basic needs? The criteria of respect or position takes a back seat in such dire circumstances.

Resignation is the easy way out. When a person is down and out due to injury, it is unjust to terminate without a care for the employee. Injury is an outcome of your duty. You got injured while returning from office duty, and this cannot be treated by the company so casually. You must take a strong stance with the company to withdraw the termination by writing to higher management who may have a broader perspective of the whole issue. After all, a negative image of the company will emerge if the facts become public.
Looking for another job is a different thing and can always be done, but first is to get humane and just treatment from the employer.

Hi Abhishek,
I hope you are doing well now. I don't know which company you work for; I just wanted to know if the Offer Letter provided to you by the company mentions that 'the company can ask the employee to resign at any point during your tenure in the company'?
The reason I'm asking you this is that in my experience, I had a similar case where an employee who was asked to resign for some reason went to 'The Court of Law.' There, it was highlighted by the company officials that the employee had signed the Offer Letter, which mentioned that the company could ask him/her to resign at any point.
So, please double-check the above. If you don't find anything like that, you don't have to resign from the services. You can go to 'The Court of Law' and demand your rights.
Thank you.
