Employee Forgery and Termination Incident
My employee stole an old approved leave application (for December 2018) and changed/forged it for her yearly leave (February 2019). She gave me the leave application on 31st January 2018 at office closing time. Her Head of Department (HOD) was not available at that time, and she was going on her yearly leave the next day. Later, I found out what she had done wrong. I terminated her on 6th March 2019 without any notice (7th March 2019 was her joining day after leave) by sending a message on the phone. She had worked with the company for 15 months. Technically, she was absent for 34 days without approved leave.
Confrontation and Request for Salary
On the morning of 7th March, she came with her mother and created a big scene. We tried to pacify them and give her one more chance, but they continued to use vulgar and unparliamentary language, and even physically assaulted our General Manager. She is asking for one month's salary. Should I allow it or not?
