Hello Ravi Arora,
From what you mentioned, obviously, your company HR DOES NOT believe you--that your request for extension of Medical Leave is necessary.
You have not mentioned the reason for your medical leave--when you wish the members of this Forum to give suggestions, unless you give details, you will only get half-baked suggestions based on your incomplete inputs. When you mention 'injury', it can mean anything. There could be injuries that would take months to heal & there would be injuries that heal in a couple of weeks, if not a few days.
Coming to the Medical Certificates that you forwarded to your HR, pl understand that beyond a point, especially in the age we live in, such documents loose their sanctity unless corroborated/strengthened by additional evidence.
Did you check with your HR the reason(s) why you are not being given extension of the Medical Leave?
Pl give the FULL & COMPLETE details of your medical condition so that the members can give you realistic & accurate suggestions.
All the Best.

Dear Sir,
I have injury in straightening of limbar spine and mild Spondylolsthesis at L4/5 level.
Doctor Advised me LS Belt and Physiotherepy for Recovery.
I Also arrange the Prscription and Medicals to Officials on mail but they force me to join.
HR never called me up, I am in sales so sales officials force me for join.
But I am not in Condition to Join.
Plz Suggest.

Hello Ravi Arora,
Suggest wait for other members to respond.
But, prima facie, I think you are in a no-win situation.
Given your medical situation [this could take quite some time to heal, since Spinal injuries don't heal fast & most often need bed-rest continuously], my suggestion is to quit the job & FOCUS ON YOUR HEALING.
What your Company seems to be doing is to avoid paying salary for a long duration--obviously they too would know that this won't be fast--COULD take even months. By asking you to rejoin, they are IN FACT forcing you to resign.
Once you are ready again, you can then hunt for a new job. Also, suggest speak to your HR & keep your options open to rejoin again after your recovery.
I know this IS A TOUGH DECISION you will need to take. But suggest see it realistically--after all your health is more important AT THIS POINT OF TIME.
All the Best.

Hello
I understand your situation. Here the one thing that you can do is to take up this issue through your immediate Boss who can represent to the higher ups through your HR. In this scenareo an emplyee taking long leave on whatever ground may definetely derail the activities to certain extent that also in private insurance companies where the competition is tough to very tough. Your case seems to be genuine and the HR people also can be reasonably understanding but if they also get some pressure from their higher ups, they are helpless. So please talk to your boss, make him understand the situation and proceed. Anyway health is important and currently you concentrate on it. Anything worst happen on your professional career can be taken care of once you are back on your heals.

Hi,
I agree with what the others have said.
One suggestion from me -
If possible, please make a personal visit to your office - to speak to your boss or HR.
This is just to let everybody see that your reason is genuine. A personal touch always makes an impact.
I wish you a full recovery.
Health is wealth - so take care.

Dear Mr. Arora,
I agree with the views expressed by all seniors, please do visit the office once and speak to your superiors and HR too, meeting in person, is always better and they might reconsider their stance on your joining, and if they do not, your health is more important as expressed by TJ
Just adding a case that is with me currently.
One of our employees had been detected of multiple blockages in heart, currently undergoing treatment for the same. The said employee is on medical leave, since 2 months, but he has left no stone unturned, every time he can he manages to come for sometime during afternoons, and overseas his junior and clears his doubts on the job. ( He is covered under ESIC, hence the delay in the procedures, but last week, he got last of the stents fitted, and may join full time soon)
Although in this case he is a very old employee, and enjoys good equity with the management.
Wish you a speedy recovery
