Dear All,
One of our employee took leaves from his Reporting officer for a month. After completion of the month that employee neither joined his services nor communicated with the company in that regard/reasons. As per our company procedure we have already given him 3 notices for long absentism.
Now we want to ask you that Can we terminate that employee for that cause, and If yes, Is he will be liable for the salary of that one month,in which he was on leave, As per his commitments he had to join his services, but he did not..
Plese suggest..
Thanks..

If the employee is absent for a long time, the employer is having all such rights to terminate him after sending a due notice.
In this case the employer is not liable to pay the one month salary as compensation.
