No problem treat those leaves as without pay and the probation period can be extended depending upon the leaves taken. employee cannot join due to Health issued but u have to keep his medical reports and certificates for your records for future. Rajkumar

Hi, There is no problem for giving an employee a leave in related to his health. You can give him a leave without pay. You should also help them for getting their claims reimbursed.

Hello Riya, While you are being veyr generous and helpful, do not discount the fact that you are also a professional. Has he explained what health problem he has? Ask the employee to submit all health related documents proving his claims. Anyone can get a doctors certificate now a days but also ensure to take relevant bills of medication and others to ensure that his claims are true. also take a decisive date of return from him. If he is not able to give a date of return then it is best to ask him to resign and then join back at a later date after he is fit to join. Weigh your options well since he will reflect as a headcount (an unproductive one at that) and you dont even know for sure if he will join back. After 2 months if he does not come you will be answerable to your management for taking this decision to give him 3 months leaves. that time you wont have any paper or document to prove your point. So plz keep all sorted. Amrita
