Dear Dash, I have tried to combine your two posts into one, to save people from commenting without grasping the whole situation.
"Sir,
I am faced with the following problem; I will be much obliged if someone could please suggest how to solve it.
We have a sweeper (Female) working in our company. She is the widow of an employee who expired on duty and the management have given her employment permanently (necessary orders issued).
She cannot be sacked.The duties assigned to her is from 9AM to 1130AM. She is supposed to come, clean the premises including sweeping and dusting of tables etc.
She often comes late, that too after executives arrive. So either the cleaning work is not done, or is done partially, though she is paid full salary every month. She has 100% support from the worker's Union (I have heard that she may be related to the Workers’ Union Secretary). Now she has started misbehaving with other staff when she is asked to do work, for which she is employed. We cannot terminate her service, as she is a permanent staff of our payroll.
As she is illiterate, it is very difficult to handle (Give written warning, etc.)
As the vacancy is occupied by her, we cannot employ anybody. Sometimes we have to hire a casual worker to clean the premises, and I conceal the wages paid as some office expenses. But this cannot continue for long.We have tried to transfer her to our other office, but the Union strongly opposes it and threatens.
I have discussed the issue with my boss in detail; he keeps quiet in the union meeting regarding the issue. He says "You are the HR Manager (Male)" and wants me to come up with practical solution. "
