Legal Trouble: How Should HR Handle Forged Signatures on Clearance Forms?

Now his superior is sending a no-due clearance form with a duplicate signature to the HR department.

Legal Implications of Forged Signatures

What is the law regarding forged signatures under the Shop and Establishment Act?

Your posting lacks clarity. Can you provide more details? You mentioned 'sending no-due clearance form with duplicate signature to the HR dept'—whose duplicate signature? When the superior is signing the No-Dues form, wouldn't he be signing it?

Agree with TS; the information required to give a useful suggestion is lacking. When you have already terminated an employee, his No Dues clearance will be signed by his superior and sent to HR for onward transmission to Finance/accounts for his Full & Final settlement. This is the normal and accepted procedure. Do you mean to say that the signatures of his superiors are forged?

There is no specific provision related to forged signatures under the Shops & Establishment Act.

Warm regards.
