2 : false salary making, falsifying in attendance.
3 : make same to same signature of the HOD on any important document.

Dear Vini,

The misconduct that you have mentioned is of far serious nature. Therefore, immediately put employee under suspension pending enquiry. Second important thing is to order domestic enquiry. On completion of the enquiry, if the accused is ready to refund the misappropriated money, well and good otherwise you will have terminate him and lodge police complaint.

Make sure that domestic enquiry is conducted expeditiously and proceedings take place continuously without unnecessary breaks. There should not be any unwanted delay. In the meanwhile, issue order to security officer to conduct verification of his home address. There should not be mismatch in the address mentioned in his documents and actual place of living. You should have his Aadhar card number and other necessary details. For further queries, feel free to contact me.

Thanks,

Dinesh Divekar
