Dear all,
I worked in one of the premier ISP/Telecom companies in our country for 10 years and 4 months continuously. However, due to some personal issues, I went on unauthorized leave. After three months, my company terminated my job, citing unauthorized absence as the reason. Now, I have a termination letter from my company in my hand.
Could anyone please suggest the best way to cope with this situation? If I start searching for new jobs, what will be my fate in HR interviews? Will my candidature be considered even with a termination letter?
Thank you

Dear Raghu,
Were you served with a "show cause notice"? As per the principles of Natural Justice, a chance has to be given to you to explain the reasons for absence. In the absence of this, it is legally wrong to terminate anyone! Hope this helps you.

If your service is terminated for unauthorized absence, there is no need to fight with the company. The company issued a termination letter after waiting for three months. This itself indicates that the company had waited for you to turn up. Therefore, the question of serving a show cause notice and ensuring natural justice will not arise. The company's stance is logically sound as well.
For your future interviews and engagements, the termination letter stating that your service was terminated due to unauthorized absence may pose a problem. However, as someone who has worked for more than 10 years, you can request the company to provide a more favorable relieving order than the one issued.

Dear Santosh,
Thanks for your reply. Yes, on the company's part, they did everything they had to do (by sending warning/show-cause letters to the last known address of mine). However, I didn't reply to them, so they proceeded with termination.
Dear Madhu,
Thanks for your reply. I did try with my company, but it's becoming a very tough task as they have already declined to give a relieving letter. I am still in negotiations with them but can't be sure of a positive outcome. Hence, I am requesting HR people: if I attend any interviews, what will be the chances of success? I have 10 years of uninterrupted experience with me.
Thank you.

Dear All,
I would like to know if a person is working with a company for more than 5 years and has reached retirement age, will they be able to avail a loan facility on their PF account? If so, at what percentage can they apply, and in which banks can they apply? Additionally, I would like to have details on leave. Could anybody send me the list of how the leaves are structured, please?
Thank you.

Dear Raghu,
By sending you warning/show-cause notices, the company has done the right thing. I do not agree with Mr. Madhu's contention that they can terminate you without giving any chance to explain.
Now, you need to be honest and explain to your new employer the reasons that compelled you not to join back. Good luck!

When you appear for an interview,frankly tell them the circumstances under which you left your last job.It is possible that they might appreciate your honesty and may hire you.:-P

When you go to an interview, truly explain why you were unauthorizedly absent. A person may be unable to respond to a notice due to family problems, mental health issues, or medical concerns. I have 10 years of experience. Your previous employer should accommodate you accordingly.

Hi Afroza,
An employee can avail of a PF loan after completing 5 years in the company. However, the company will be kind of responsible for the same. The company will only provide Form 13 to the employee, and for other formalities, the employee needs to check with the PF office only.
