How Should I Draft a Show-Cause Notice for an Employee Drinking on Duty?

Dear All,

Kindly send me a format of a show-cause notice. While on duty, one of the employees consumed liquor and violated company policy with colleagues. I would like to issue a strong show-cause notice against him.

Thanks & Regards,
Bharath

Dear Bharat,

You recently issued a written warning to the individual. If you were to provide a strong show cause letter, it might work against you in court. You could phrase it as follows:

"It has been observed that you came to the company premises on [Date] in a drunken state, engaging in abuse and threats towards other staff members. This behavior resulted in a work stoppage, leading to losses for the company. Such actions fall under misconduct, yet the management has decided to take a lenient approach this time, refraining from terminating your employment.

You are hereby requested to provide a written explanation within three days of receiving this letter, addressing why no further action should be taken against you.

Forxxx
Authorized Signatory"

I have just drafted this; you can adjust it as needed. Other team members can also contribute to its refinement.

Regards,
