leave of absence termination

I have an employee who asked his manager for a month's personal leave of absence. Unfortunately, the manager approved the leave without consulting me, HR Manager, and new to this organization. We have no formal policies - yet. Anyway, the employee has not returned and his son has since told us that the employee intends to stay in Mexico permanently and not come back to work. I would like to terminate this person effective the day he left for the leave of absence so that we will not be responsible for his medical premiums. No forms were completed for a leave of absence and nothing was put in writing. Are there legal issues I should be concerned with, would it be safer to terminate him after a month instead because that was the verbal agreement between the manager and the employee? Thanks for any help! |

You should send the employee a letter stating that he is on a leave of absence and provide the dates. Also outline the date he is expected back to work. You can then terminate him if he fails to return to work after the end of his leave of absence. I just went through this about a month ago with the same situation, if you need more help e-mail me. |
