Just verify the manpower you engage so that Karnataka standing orders are applicable to your org. If the act is applicable read & follow the following.
Always keep two witnesses while issuing any document related to disciplinary action ac per the standing orders act. In such case if employee refuses to accept it, in the presence of the witnesses inform the crux content of the document that was refused by the employee. At the bottom of the document write the following: Offered (document type) to (name) but she / he refused to accept the same. As such the content was orally read out to (name). Signature, date & time
Name & signature of witness 1 and witness 2 with date & time.
If you follow the procedure, the document is deemed as issued under the standing orders.
