Handling Theft by Contract Employees

Why do you want to issue a letter to a contract employee? That needs to be taken care of by the contractor. Obtain a complaint from security and hand over the worker to the police, then ask for a replacement from the contractor. The contractor needs to handle the issue.

If the employee is directly recruited by you under contract employment, then obtain a complaint from security, hand it over to the police, and obtain the FIR. Let the police complete the process. In the meantime, please discuss with your legal consultant/company lawyer for further action.

Regards,
Kamesh
