Addressing Certificate Submission Issues
Firstly, inform your immediate boss or HOD about this. After consulting your boss, you can inform the trainee to submit the documents within 5 days, or he will have to leave the job or be terminated. You may give him the option of rejoining your services whenever he can produce the documents.
Also, consider another aspect in this case. It appears that the concerned trainee has not been formally relieved by his previous employer, which is why he has not retrieved his documents. However, I do not condone the practice of employers retaining original documents. It is illegal, unethical, and unprofessional.
Dear Friends, in our company, one person has joined as a trainee two months ago. However, he has not submitted his certificates yet. I asked him to submit them by June 26, 2010. He mentioned that he is unable to get his certificates from his previous company as his Managing Director is out of town, causing a delay. What should I do now? Please suggest.
