Dear Experts,
Employees have been working in a factory continuously for more than 16 hours per day for a week to complete a task as per the commitment given to the customer.
On the last day, the customer was supposed to leave the factory around 8.00 p.m. Around 13 employees (mostly managerial staff) had planned for a happy hours as they had been working continuously for 4 days and nights. They arranged to have alcoholic drinks at night and proceed home.
Unfortunately for them the customer went out for Dinner and planned to come back. Hence the employees had drinks around 10.00 p.m. and came to the factory only after the customer returned after dinner.
The concerned employees are agreeing to the above fact with the HR and have informed that they are all willing even to submit their resignations, which will create a vacuum in the operations. However the Director of the Company is asking other employees to give witness to the issue so that he can initiate action against the employees.
Expert view is sought on the above issue.
