Hi,
Any act of omission or commission which is subversive of discipline and good behaviour can attract punishment of dismissal. However, it is important to consider gravity of misconduct, before taking recourse to this action. some of the actions which can attract this punishment are:
- Theft, damage to company prperty,
- Assault, drunkenness while on duty, insubordination
- Instigating workers to go on strike which is illegal, go-slow
-participating in go slow, illegal strike
- unauthorised absenteeism,
- working for another company while in employment
- Insubordination, continuous fall in output, Engaging in money lending,
- sleeping while on duty etc etc
It should be borne in mind that gravity of misconduct, and other aggravating and extenuating circumstances ought to be taken in to consideration before awarding the extreme punishment of dismissal. The past record of employee is also given due weightage.
Please refer to your Standing Orders, company rules on the subject.
