Hi everyone,
Let me introduce myself first. I am Arun, working for a leading IT company, presently located in Chennai. I have recently (a week before) submitted my resignation. I was told to serve a notice period of 2 months (60 days) to complete all my relieving duties.
But just last weekend, I met with a minor accident and suffered from severe back pain. I had gone to the ortho, and he advised me to undergo treatment for 6 weeks.
Initially, he has asked me to undergo heat treatment and physiotherapy. He has also advised me to wear a back support belt. During the course of the treatment, if the ortho feels I would need complete traction, I would be on bed rest for at least 4-6 weeks. He has scheduled a checkup on 15th Dec. Based on his feedback, I might have to be on rest/traction for 5-6 weeks.
The situation is that I would need to join the new company within 2 months. How do I handle this? The Ortho said he would give me a comprehensive certificate so that I can get released from my present company by 20th December.
Please help me.

Hi Ravishank,
Thanks. Well, I would need to take leave for a month. Can I submit the medical records and request to be released after serving around 40 days of notice instead of the standard 60 days? The new company is willing to extend the joining date by 1 month due to this medical ailment.
This 40-day period would provide me with enough time for a smooth transition. Have any HR professionals encountered a situation where an employee requests an early release citing medical complications? How would an organization typically react to such a situation?
Thank you.

Hi,
This completely depends on management discretion/line manager's recommendation, whether they will release you early or not. Please talk to your HR department and try to get to know the procedure.

Well, I talked to my manager yesterday. He said I would need to serve 2 months before leaving. If I take any leaves (6 weeks), then I would need to serve 6 weeks once again and then leave the company. These guys are heartless.

Hi,
If you are willing to serve a 40-day notice, then ask your HR to adjust the balance notice period fee against your payments due and relieve you of your duties... That should not be a problem then.

Hi Arun,
It is possible for you to serve a 40-day notice period instead of 60 days, but pay in lieu of the notice period (20 days) will be deducted from your final settlement. To make this happen, you need to request it from your HR department.

Hi Rajesh,
Okay, I will talk to the HR department. I will also discuss the situation with my manager. I seriously don't mind paying the notice amount as part of the final settlement.
Previously, my priority was my health, followed by job safety. Now, things are different. Both my job and health are of equal priority. I will provide feedback to you as soon as possible.

Dear Arun,
The situation is actually simple. However, your anxiety is leading to a panic situation. Let us, for a moment, forget that you are serving your notice period. Assuming that you were continuing in employment with your previous company and the mishap were to occur during such service that would require you to take complete bed rest, with the result that you cannot attend service for 2 months. What would happen?
Firstly, you would exhaust your sick leaves. Thereafter, you would seek an extension of your sick leave. If an extension is not given, either you would claim Casual or would be left with no option but to opt for without pay. However, the Company would not have asked you to work extra hours to compensate for your absence during your medical condition.
Similarly, today you are bedridden. You have no choice but to exhaust your leaves. The Company cannot ask you to serve the notice period compulsorily since you are not their Bonded Labor. And even if you were, such an arrangement is illegal.
Therefore, do not panic. Ensure that you fully recover from the physical suffering and are fit enough to take the challenges of your new assignment.
Hope I have been able to solve your query. Good luck to you.
