During the (ZIC) meeting, the employee in question explained that his absence from work had been due to his mother’s medical treatment, which necessitated him taking leave without prior intimation to his reporting manager. The Cluster Manager further noted that the employee has a recurring pattern of taking unauthorized leave at regular intervals. It was also brought to the committee’s attention that, in the past, several complaints had been lodged against the employee regarding similar misconduct. These previous instances were addressed through formal warning letters, with the expectation and opportunity for the employee to improve his professional standards. Despite these interventions, the employee failed to demonstrate the required improvement or adhere to established professional standards. In light of this repeated misconduct and the employee’s inability to rectify his behaviour, the committee has decided to terminate his employment with immediate effect. Considering his tenure he was asked to resign and go.
