Handling Employee Misconduct in the Absence of HR Policies

I am working in a manufacturing company as a PRO. Now, our company wants to take action against two employees who fought during working hours. However, in our company, there is no HR policy or leave policy, except for the travel policy. On what basis can a show cause notice be given to the two employees? Can employees take action against a company after receiving a show cause?

Please guide me.

Thanks & Regards,

Show cause notice

When will you use the show cause notice, and what is the process?

Please advise on issuing a notice to the employee regarding unauthorized mobile phone use in the plant area.

Hi Raja Bhaiya, It is called "Show cause notice," not "so cause notice."

Questions about Employee's Mobile Usage
How long has the employee been found using a mobile in the plant area? Has any verbal warning already been issued to him? Has any written warning letter been issued to him already? If not, it would be better to issue a warning letter for using a mobile in the plant area.

We can help you with a show cause notice if the employee has already been warned several times for mobile usage during work hours.

Dear Seniors, Greetings of the day! We have received a show cause notice from the Directorate of Industrial Safety & Health, Haryana Labour Department (under The Factory Act, 1948). Please guide us on how to reply.

Hi, you have not attached any letter copy. Without it, how will members be able to comment on it?

Dear Seniors,

One of our employees was detected working for another Pvt. Ltd. firm during office hours for the past 10 days, and the company now wants to issue the employee a Show Cause Notice (SCN). Therefore, I require a draft email and guidance on the subject.

I want to issue a show cause notice to our marketing executives due to non-performance in achieving their sales and collection targets. Hence, I require a model letter draft copy.

I want to send a show cause notice to an employee who has not received the letter sent via registered mail, nor has she communicated further regarding her reporting to duty. She was on medical leave and consistently fails to communicate with the employer.

Timeframe for Reporting Under Show Cause Notice

Within how many days can she be called to report in person under the show cause notice?

On 28/01/25, a demand for important items was sent to you. You kept that demand with you and did not take any action on it, due to which important work of the company got disrupted. Therefore, you are asked why you should not be punished. Please give you 2 days time to reply.
