Dear Manindar,

"Warning" is the most lenient remedial measure for disciplining any misconduct on the part of an employee. "Leave" is a statutory or contractual welfare benefit of employment subject to certain restrictions. However, outright denial of any leave applied for without any valid reason, such as exigencies of work, is a bad HR practice when there is sufficient leave credit of the employee and the purpose of leave is reasonable.

Sanctioning leave for an employee is only an occasional affair. Therefore, the decision to sanction or refuse leave should be based on the occasion and not on any behavioral issues of the employee. If the earlier warning was for issues like frequent leave-taking, unauthorized absence, etc., which are detrimental to the organization's work, the employer's hesitation can be justified. No hard and fast rules can be laid down, and only the employer can be the best judge of the situation.

Dear sir,

Thank you for sharing your valuable information.

Actually, I received a final warning letter on my portal. Prior to this, I have not received any warning from my employer both orally and verbally. The allegations in the warning letter are 90% false and 10% true. They force and create office pressure to either accept the warning letter or submit resignation. I requested my General Manager to give me at least 10 minutes to discuss the allegations. However, he denied it by saying, "first accept the warning letter, then discuss it with me." I have not accepted the warning letter because it is 90% false and a consequence of office politics.

I also have an appraisal in October.

They have also humiliated me and kept peer pressure on me to accept the letter.

Sir, how can I tackle the situation as this mentally stresses and depresses me.

Please reply as soon as possible.

Thank you.

Dear Sir/Madam,

It would be prudent on your part to accept the warning letter and then submit your explanation where you can refute the charges with ample evidence. At the same time, you have to admit to the 10% of charges, which according to you are "true," and you have to give an assurance that you will not repeat such mistakes. This alone is an amicable process.
