I am running a small company and facing problem with one of the employees as follows.
He joined our company in 2013 feb as trainee on training allowance and we have committed to make him permanent on his performance after 3 months . He was indeed a skilled worker but not disciplined always late in coming and some times don't come to office and every morning give some excuse we thought he will change and given him appointment and increased his salary also but he keep on continuing the same style lots of absence authorized and unauthorized. Last august onwards his mobile bill has started increasing for connection company given to him and fact that he is not calling Ny customer or colleagues we have warned him in the first month itself but irrespective of that the bill kept increasing we thought of deducting it from his salary but because of leaves we cant do that .
Now in the month of October on duty he has lost his bag and company lost almost 1 lakhs worth of testing equipments along with bags and we had discussed him and we came to an agreement that we will deduct all mobile bills and 50% of the lost goods from his salary as per the amount he agreeing each month and we may write off full amount after six month based on his performance ( we prepared an agreement but not signed) after that he never reported to duty and he kept company mobile with him and again the bill has accumulated to another 5000( we cant Barr the connection as it is corporate connection and mobile company tells it can be done only on billing cycle) .
Now he is not responding to our calls for the last 3 months
Please advice us what action we can take against him ? Is it possible to recover our loss due to negligence and misuse ?
A proper guidance greatly appreciated
