Can We Terminate Someone After He Has Put Down His Papers?

Mr. Dhingra is absoluetly right. Without being in the know of all facts of the matter, an off the cuff opinion will not be most appropriate. If all the facts of the matter are furnished one can give proper opinion/advice.

However, in the present case where the employee has resigned for whatever reasons, it will not a great idea to terminate his services. It will clearly appear to be a vindictive act.

Here it sems that the management is peeved with the employee and just wants to "fix" him, good.

Since the employee has already resigned, best would be to accept the same and arrange to relieve him at the earliest.

To address the situation further, you may decide not to give him a good experience certificate/reference.

I know of a real life situation where the MD of the Co. issued a termination order under his signature and in the said letter he actually terminated the services of the said employee "three times". Some venom that!!! (misplaced?)

Dear All,
I hope we all are trying to learn certain things where SYNERGY is required. Lets not get tooooooooo serious.
Lets come to a point where we should accept CERTAIN FACTS and implement the same at all levels. Let us define a solution based on FACTS. We all are employees and we should help ourselves and our co-workers as well.
We should never try to spoil anybody's career. Its really unfair on anybody's part.
With profound regards

Dear Dhingra Sir,
The case was that my friend has some life insurance policies of sister concern of the company in his name which his friend x has confirmed that he has done those policy on behalf of my friend as he has to repay some old debts to my friend . Even my friend was receiving the letters confirming the same at his communication address when my friend has checked those things from the insurance company it was confirmed to him that that the policy is updated with his communication address ,DOB as well as PAN Card number. when he approached the insurance company for redemption of the policy insurance peoples ask him for his ID proof and cancelled cheque he submit his pan card and savings account cheque . the insurance company has taken almost 15 days to process the payment in his savings account.after a month of crediting the payment my friend has received a call in the month of september 2010 from internal risk management team regarding the confirmation of the same .they ask him that why he has claimed the payment he gives proper reasoning for the same that he is expecting the same amount from one of his friend with whom he has no contact from last 6 months.as the money does not belong to him so he return the full amount accordingly . after that he has not received a single communication neither from the HR nor from risk management so he assumes that the things are over .and he starts working like before it is after that he receives a good opportunity so he decides to resign on 1st FEB 2011 and all this mess has begun you are requested to please advice him accordingly

Dear All,
It may be alright in politics to commit corruption and resign before the people outcry. It is also good for a saint to take a lenient view and forgive a wrong doer. But in the society, particularly in industries, stern action must be taken against gross indiscipline. I appreciate the feelings and goodness of Namobita Ji and would agree to take a lenient view only if the concerned employee apologizes for his mis-deeds and promises good behaviour in future; otherwise not. If the chapter is closed with mere acceptance of his resignation, it is likely that he would repeat it elsewhere with more boldness. To the best of my knowledge and belief, no law prevents any employer from rejecting resignation letter and dismissing the culprit from service after due process of law i.e. serving a chargesheet, conducting enquiry etc. which deprives him of his gratuity.

Dear ,
If this act is affecting Company Image , then Consult your Advocate who will be able to give clear legal guidance. Act accordingly taking in to account the quantum of damage. Normally these advocates guide us well , it is upto us to deal the case in a firm and fair way.

Dear Shyam,
I suggested appropriate action on the breach and NDA which can include non-compete agreement, where an employee cannot join a client or a vendor and start the business within the lock in period which is three to five years.
Punishment would not remain valid if the right course for the future is not defined.

Dear Arpita,
One can certainly understand your frustration at having spent so much time and money on recruiting someone, only to have them resign.
However terminating someone (except on grounds of illegal activity) also has a negative impact on the brand value of the company in the market. As long as this person studied for his MBA examination during his leave as promised, he has fulfilled his ethical and moral obligations to the company.
One cannot really prevent an employee from searching for better opportunities elsewhere. As for attending the interviews, he could have done that anyways, whether or not he was on leave. Even if this person has attended interviews.
I would gently submit, that you perhaps need to reconsider your decision on terminating this person. A better way would be to simply let him resign.
