What are legal consequences of delayed exam during job contract?

My friend joined a government contract job in September 2021 while pursuing a degree course from 2019–21, which was delayed due to COVID and family issues. The final exam was completed in August 2022, with the employer’s knowledge. What are the legal consequences of this delay?

Generally, delayed exams due to valid reasons like COVID, with employer’s knowledge, don’t affect job status. Since the administrative officer was informed and leave was granted, there should be no legal issue. However, specific consequences depend on employer policies and contract terms, so clarification with HR is advisable. For detailed legal advice and assistance, contact our helpline.
