Dear Colleague,
I beg to differ with Mr Mohanty's views.
The post does not say that it has strength of 100 'workmen' to make Standing orders applicable nor it states the truent employee is a workman.
It mentions that HR policy exists but the query raised is who initeates talk on the policy and on the act of indiscipline to the employee whether line manager or HR?
Since the line Manager is accountable for the performance of the team ,discipline and coordination of team efforts for deliverables the answer is the line manager and not HR who has to initiate the talk after consulting HR if required.
If the discipline issue remains unresolved , then certainly HR will intervene and take appropriate call based on the nature and gravity of the act and also considering all legal and other implications.
Some learned members have rhymed with my differing views but I would like some churning of views from other learned members on this vital subject.
Regards,
