Hello,
I am an HR in a Software company. Recently come to light that a male employee has been harassing couple of female employees. It was not direct physical but indirectly like call them and texting them in and outside office enquiring about their health, what they are doing, etc.
When this came to knowledge of the management and he was questioned about it, he pleaded that he suffers from physiological problems. Before any action could be taken he took a long medical leave. When he rejoined he worked for couple of days and one day left mid shift pleading ill health. He email his manager later that day that he will not continue and as resigned with immediate effect. He provided doctor’s prescription of his medication along with his resignation mail. He subsequently sent his father along with a hard copy of his resignation and a note from his psychiatrist prescribing medication and 2 weeks of rest. The management informed him that they are willing to give him 90 days to recover and rejoin work if he does not feel like continuing he can serve his notice period and he can leave (after rejoining).
He has refused the management’s offer and he is willing to forego a month salary (due). The management has decided to accept his resignation but would mention the reason of his leaving in his reliving letter, that is “unable to work due to physiological problem”.
Are we allow to mention physiological problem legally?

Dear Ritu,
What are you going to achieve by giving unnecessary remarks on the relieving letter? Just show reason for separation as "Resigned from Service on his own accord".
Remarks about employee's medical condition on the relieving letter will serve as communication to his future employers. Why you want to do that? Be concerned about your company affairs and let the matter end there.
Thanks,
