Resigning from current employer while on medical leave ?
Hey all, I have joined current employer few months back and I am going back home on medical leave for ~2 months. I plan to resign from my cureent employer while I am on medical leave and join new employer immediately upon arrival to US again. Update: I am on H1-B visa and I already have approval I-797 from my future to be employer. Can i do that ? what are the implications ? TC: 230K
That's unprofessional AF. But sure do it. It's a small world and expect karma to come back at some point.
Check your company policy and your employment contract first, if not already done. It may says things like “cannot quit within a few weeks of medical leave without penalties...” Second can ask local employment lawyer re: local rules, if not already done. Some lawyers give a free consultation that you can avail. Third, confide in a known HR associate with your medical emergency. This should be a last resort as things tend to leak, and under condition of “I am considering moving because of.. “ <insert legitimate medically related reason>
Is there such thing like “you cannot resign while on medical leave” ?
You know it’s wrong or you wouldn’t be asking
I assume you are not on any visa. Are you?
I am on h1-b visa.
