immediate termination

ask HR type termination letter n hand it to him on the spot with reason clearly stated, in dis case failure to complete assigned tasks

celery will b pro-rated n cheque will b mailed to his address

ask security to watch over him while he packs

Lets say in scenario if there is resigning staff refuse to finish work.

make excuses when in actual sense, can finish work in time.

But refuse to do the work.

just 1 week to go.

What can HR do to take action?

Nothing. Same happened to me, even with 1 month left to go, my HR advised me to chuck it all away, not to bother. Actually 9 months of work I didn’t upload to share drive. They had to re-do audit again but the dept closed up and transferred to another. I received a workforce reduction plan, still kept my 14 mths gaji.

You think so? Not finishing work is not a terminatable offense. Be ready for the unfair dismissal claim in JPP
And holding back salary? See above

1 week left.

You are supposed to let the person handover everything the work that he/she carried on.

If 1 week left you want to micromanage that person work, that means no proper handover has been done.

It's a different situation if you are working in call centre, retail, f&b where the work goes on as usual until your last day since these type of works are more to hands on and no heavy documentation required

Question the immediate supervisor.
Usually this happens when the resigned staff has an issue with management. If there was no issue, he/she probably will have a good handover.

As you mentioned "make excuses when in actual sense, can finish work in time." This simply translate to how he/she sees the company/management and is trying to get back at the company.

maybe can ask the person to walk you through what are the things that he/she has handed over and what are the things that are still pending

You force them to finish it, I guarantee u will regret it as at best they just cincai finish, at worst they sabotage.. Either way, u are better off getting.someone more responsible to finish the tasks.

That was me 🤣 Days before I was supposed to leave, I was trying my best to finish all the work. My work was related to F&b so it was impossible to finish everything but my "manager" kept threatening me to finish it.

Since I didn't plan to work in this industry anymore, I purposely left out a big chunk of tasks in my handover list n left a lot of shit for them to settle once I was gone. Before u crucify me, pls note that this is an extremely toxic company to begin with in which they gossip non stop abt u n being rude to others is very much acceptable.

Well, I wouldn't be the one to judge you at all, as I know a lot of companies have sh!t management. Just look at this thread for proof. One week to go and asking if can punish the outgoing employee! laugh.gif

Move on ts, next time refine your handover process, this is expected from resign employee especially disgruntled one

Positive side now u know you have issue on the handover process maybe too depend on 1 person to do certain task. And now you can blacklist this employee and for future referral. If he's still work in same industry he's f*ct.

Understandable

My last manager was doing this to me as well, after resignation accepted; she tried to squeeze as much from me as possible.

Things that were not under me suddenly became my task, and asked me to prepare things that would carry out till year end (I resigned at almost the beginning of the year).

Safe to say that I did not leave in good terms with my manager but the other staff and colleagues were surprisingly understanding.

Cause they all knew how my manager was and she wasn’t an easy person to work with at all.

Female manager? Well that really explains everything 🤣 I don't normally bash my own species but female managers are the most ruthless managers. Makes me wonder if they're forcing themselves to be this way coz they feel like they have to prove that they're just as capable as male managers.

I think being bitchy has nothing to do with their marital status. The toxic manager that I mentioned is married with 2 kids lol.
