Hello All, I need your input in this.
A staff (sonographer) informed my MD that he would not be available for 2 days without informing the HR Manager he was not asked to also put this in writing which he is also aware of, as this is stated in our employee policy. From my investigation, he said he told someone to cover his shift knowing fully well that that person works somewhere else on a full time basis and the person only works for us on part time. Another issue was he didn't inform the person of the time that person was meant to cover his shift (lack of communication). We were highly incapacitated this period because he is one of the key employees of the company, we had to source for someone outside the company to cover those hours on short notice. Kindly let me know how i should handle such matters, do i issue a warning letter even though the MD was informed, if not how do i go about handling this issue? Thank you
