Hi all. I quit my current firm on 27 July and was serving the mandatory two month notice period. However, unfortunately my parents met with a car accident and have been in a serious condition and they need constant caring. I want to get an early release from my current employer, but am not sure if this falls in their definition of exceptional circumstances. I have the hospital and doctor\'s certificates with me. I just want to confirm if the employer will agree to releasing me early. In case they do not, what course of action I can take?
Please advice. Thanks

Hello,
Since you have all the Medical papers in-hand, suggest first talk to your boss & then to HR showing them the documents & request for an early release. Unless they suspect the docs, they should be agreeing to your request.
But there's one thing that's a bit out-of-place. Who would be wishing to be out-of-job in such trying circumstances? If what you mention is indeed true, suggest ask for Leave without pay [worst-case]. It's always better to have the comforting thought that you can get back to work after the situation eases--in a nutshell, don't add another worry.
Reg your query 'In case they do not, what course of action I can take?', suggest follow the adage: 'cross the bridge when it comes'--meaning handle things one-by-one.

Thanks for your reply. Your views are much appreciated.
The thing is that I could use the early release to support my parents and be there for them when they need me the most. At this point, what matters to me is that I am available for any support that they would need. So I wanted to know, as it is in this case, that there are no specific examples of exceptional circumstances mentioned in the HR handbook. I am ready to incur the loss of pay, if it helps me get an early release.
Regards.

Hello,
I agree with your need to be closer to your parents @ this time.
Suggest first push for the necessary leave & see how it works out. In this context, pl be prepared if the company wants to cross-check the medical reports with their Panel doctors--on the veracity AND whether their prognosis matches with the time you are asking for leave.
But why are you again insisting on 'if it helps me get an early release'??? What's YOUR definition of 'release'?

Hi
I have plans to join a family business run by my uncle. Hence, I had resigned from my position and had agreed to serve the full notice period. So the plan remains to join my uncle's business, and since he will not force me to join him ASAP, I can take my time and help my folks.
Thanks for the update. I hope the company agrees to my request.

As suggested by Mr. TS first of all avail the leave you have and then request them to extend the leave period without pay to the extent it is needed for your family to ease out, then join your family business. Since as you have said that your uncle will not force you to join him ASAP, maybe its 3 months or 6 months.
By this I hope the management will certainly look into the genuinity and will grant you the leave and as well as easy exit, why you need to have a bad relationship with your employer who has put their trust in you as long as you were with them.
