► I am currently working in a company where I am planning to resign soon due to personal health reasons and my intention to pursue further studies. I have already communicated my situation to HR via email and shared medical documents as proof.
Recently, management has started imposing strict and unusual leave policies, such as not allowing half-day or even single-day leaves and stating that if leave is taken, a minimum of 3 days must be applied. This feels unreasonable and is causing concern.
I had taken permission earlier to leave early on a particular day due to health issues, but I am unsure if they may mark me absent or force unnecessary leave deductions.
I am planning to resign after a few days (post a pre-approved leave on 16th April), and I want to ensure:
Whether the company can legally deny or manipulate my leave (especially sick leave supported by medical reasons).
Whether they can force me to apply for more leave days than actually taken.
Whether they can create issues during my resignation or notice period based on such situations.
What steps I should take to protect myself and ensure a smooth exit without negative consequences.
I want to handle this professionally without conflict, but I also want to be aware of my rights as an employee.
