Dear HR,

One of our employees submitted fake educational documents (Fresher). Somehow our BGV team found it. The employee is not accepting responsibility. What action can be taken against him? Please suggest.

Hi,

Producing false/fake certificates is a grave misconduct; dismissal of service is justified in such cases, as ruled by the Supreme Court.

It is an act of forgery. You may terminate that particular employee as he/she has tarnished the trust of the employer.
