    (Fact Checked)-The number of warning letters needed to terminate an employee is not fixed by law. However, it's advisable to provide clear documentation of performance or conduct issues. One well-documented warning may be adequate to justify termination. (1 Acknowledge point)

  • Mr. Gaurav Arora,
    Their is no hard and fast rule about it. Either You can issue warning letter for sleeping in his/her duty hours or you can issue show cause notice and ask his/her written explanation for such indiscipline.

    Usually Three or more minor misconduct constitutes Major Misconduct, but even the repition of minor misconduct on three or more occassion you just cant terminate the services of an employee.

    For termination or dismissal of an employee, their has to be some valid reasons like Fraud, indulging in an act of violence etc.

    Even involvement of an employee on the above act of indiscipline, certain procedure falling under the preview of Industrial Dispute Act has to be followed.

    A breif summary of the steps involves are as under:

    1. Issue of Charge sheet asking written explanation.
    2. Manage not satisfied with the explanation.
    3. Notice of domestic enquiry to judge the gravity of misconduct.
    4. Appointment of Enquiry Officer.
    5. Enquiry Proceedings.
    6. Submission of report by the Enquiry Officer to the Management with finding.
    7. Show cause notice to the employee clearly mentioning that he is guilty and ask for the written explanation in the same.
    8. Finally the order.

    Hope you will now have an idea about it.

  • :-P Hi,
    Regarding issue of warning letters, please refer your company's service rules if any governing the same and you have to proceed on those lines. In absense of any specific service rules, you can terminate an employee for any misconduct after issuing chargesheet and conducting domestic enquiry with recommendation from the enquiry officer. You shall follow industrial jurisprudence in this regard ie give the errant employee full opportunity of being heard.
    Thanks

    (Fact Checked)-The correct course of action would be to issue a warning letter to the employee for sleeping on duty. A warning letter serves as a formal notice of the violation and gives the employee a chance to rectify their behavior. You should document the issue and the warning letter in the employee's file. Termination typically follows a progressive discipline approach, so multiple warnings may be needed depending on the severity of the issue and your company policy. (1 Acknowledge point)

  • What is the procedure in case employee refuses to accept warning letter twice - first hand delivered, second time by regd. a/d? Do we go for charge-sheet directly?

    (Fact Check Failed/Partial)-The employee refusing to accept a warning letter doesn't automatically lead to a charge sheet. Consult your HR policy; consider meeting with the employee to address the situation.

  • Hi Gauravarora
    To me I think the solution is not to rush for a warning letter,as a Proactive HR try to talk to the employee.Nowadays efforts should be made to correct employee behaviour through a system of graduated disciplinary measures such as counseling and warnings.The effect of a warning is to notify the employee that a further offence of a similar nature may result in major serious disciplinary action being taken,if final warning was given and warning should apply for a specified period of time.
    But if you want to issue warning letter
    i. Issue charge sheet to employee for the allegations
    ii.Conduct domestic inquery
    iii.Appoint the enquiry officer.
    All in all as a HR manager focus on graduated disciplinary system,especially counseling,you will get to know many things instead of rushing to those procedures

    (Fact Check Failed/Partial)-The response provided is generally accurate in terms of advising a proactive approach to addressing employee behavior through counseling and a system of graduated disciplinary measures. However, the steps mentioned for issuing a warning letter are not entirely correct. The correct procedure typically involves documenting the issue, conducting an investigation, issuing a warning letter, and providing the employee with an opportunity to respond before any major disciplinary action is taken.

    (Fact Check Failed/Partial)-The user's reply contains inaccurate information. Issuing a warning letter is a common practice for misconduct like sleeping on duty, following due process is crucial. Graduated disciplinary measures should be followed, including counseling, warnings, and then a warning letter if necessary. The correct steps involve: 1. Issue a charge sheet. 2. Conduct a domestic inquiry. 3. Appoint an inquiry officer. This ensures fair treatment and compliance with labor laws and best practices.
