Un-availed leave if any, shall be lapsed at the end of the year.Working hours will be 9:00 am – 5:30 pm, 6 days a week. On 24/07/2018 the HR Dept, has verbally informed me that in view of the implementation of Electronic Medical Recording System, assuming that my advanced age, the Management has taken a decision to relieve me from the services with two months notice period i.e. 30/09/2018. Accordingly, the HR Dept has served a letter mentioning my last working day would be on 30/09/2018 and took my signature on the original letter.
