Acts of late coming, absenteeism insubordination constitute indiscipline. I agree with Mr. Malik that you must serve charge sheet to that employee and if his/ her reply is unsatisfactory then hold a fair enquiry. Principle of natural justice demands that nobody should be punished without being provided opportunity to offer his/ her defence. If employee is proven guilty in domestic enquiry then employer has the right to dismiss that employee. In this case no notice pay will be paid even gratuity can be forefeited. In other cases decision should be taken according to terms/ conditions of contract/ appointment letter.
