Hi All-
I appreciate your responses to the query i had raised. While i do understand that being a human, i need to ensure that ample chance is given to an employee to prove himself, but any breach in any area of employement is not warranted for.
In this particular case - the employee forged a document and the same got reflected in her Background Verification. The employee took pains in procuring a letter head - drafting a letter - signing the document on behalf of the HR Head of the previous firm. If i did let her go, i will be responsible for violating QMS procedure and would be held liable if the employee errs (again). My point is, if the employee can fake a document today, she can fake other things out as well. Mgmts perception is same and is in accordance to future threats that could be envisaged from the erring employee.
I spoke to her today and have dismissed her form her services with immediate effect and explained her that a) salary for this month will still be credited b) No notice pay will be rolled out c) we will keep a record for any future reference checks d) we wont go to the police and lodge a FIR for forgery d) we wont intimate her previous employer about the fake document she created, thereby reducing any chances of legal implications.
I also spoke to the internal teams and explained the reason for dismissal of the erring employee.
The dismissal letter I rolled out is as under:
To,
XYZ
Address
Date: 21st September 2009
Subject: Dismissal from services
XYZ ,
As you and I have already discussed, your receipt of this letter represents your official dismissal as an employee of ABC Pvt Ltd, effective today. A company such as ours has an obligation to adhere to the most exacting standards of employement integrity. Since you have demonstrated a willingness to compromise these standards, we cannot in good faith accede to your continued employment with us.
Realizing the delicate nature of this situation, I nevertheless need to inform you that ABC Pvt Ltd will maintain a confidential file detailing the events that have led to your dismissal. This file documents your manipulation of employement documents with the aim of gaining employment with us. While we will not attempt to hinder your future career in any way, protection of GamCom IT Services Pvt Ltd’s legal interests and sound reputation requires us to preserve an internal record of all your actions relative to your dismissal.
It is also appropriate for me to inform you that we cannot recommend you to potential future employers upon their inquiry. For this reason we ask you not to present our company’s name or the names of company personnel as references. Please contact Ms. FNQ (HR Executive) for further information concerning your severance.
In spite of your unfortunate false start here at ABC Pvt Ltd –and because we recognize your very real talent–we genuinely hope you find a bright new beginning for your career.
Regards,
