Dear friends,

In one of the construction sites, a Head of Department (HOD) has imposed a penalty on his staff for violating safety and traffic norms. Can an HOD legally levy a financial penalty on his subordinates for violating safety and traffic norms at a construction site? Kindly guide.

In every organization, there is an appointing/punishing authority. In my opinion, in the instant case, the Head of Department (HOD) can send the mail to the appropriate authority of the organization stating the violation. The appropriate authority, as per PNJ and considering the gravity of the matter, should initiate disciplinary action.
