Dear Mr Francis
Every organisation will have two categories of employees
1. Workmen under the Industrial Disputes Act This will cover all Workers and staff like Data entry Operators telephone Operators
Assistants etc These are the people who are governed by Standing Orders. If you have Certfied Standing Orders, look at
provisions. Otherwise look at Model Standing Orders in maharashtra
Generally, if an employee does not come for two days without intimation, we must start the process by sending a communication
to his address asking him to report for work immediately. Wait for three more days, then send one more communication. By this
he would report for work or remain absent for more than 10 days. send a detaild letter indicating that he had been remaining
absent from the date onwards and there is no response from him. Ask him to report for work on or before a specified date.
Mention if he does not report it will be deemed that he has no interest in the employment and his name will be removed from the
rolls. Wait till that date and send a communicatinn removeing him from the rolls if he does not report for work
2. Management and supervisory Staff are not covered by Standing Orders but are covered by general law in the absence of
specificrules.Same procedure can be followed
This method is suggested where the does not respond or report. If he reports, suitable disciplinary action can be initiated as per standing orders. In case of Supervisory or Managerial Staff, do not initiate disciplinary action but enquire and take a decision whether he should continue in employment or not
