How Should I Handle an Employee Caught Smoking Inside the Company?

I want to take disciplinary action against my employee who is smoking inside the company.

Thank you.

As far as I am concerned, a common circular should be drafted, including the fine or penalty for all, and after that, its implementation. It would provide legal evidence of your warning.

If your HR policies are already in place and circulated, then disciplinary action would be appropriate.

If this is his first instance, you can warn him verbally. Next time, send a memo which will be on record. If the incident repeats, you can take disciplinary action.

You can also draft a common circular to warn other members in the organization.
