After going through the above discussions, it is observed that there was no systematic disciplinary procedure in your organization. If systematic disciplinary procedure is in vogue in your organization, this kind of events may not happen. It also appears that your MD is also very liberal to women employees, despite the fact of giving least importance to the official work. People like you will suffer a lot. However my advise is here which may be some how useful to you.
1. First of all, you have to prepare a job chart for all the employees in HR Department, and assign functions and duties specifically to be attended to by each of the employee in HR Department.
2. Issue a circular to all employees to attend to their assigned duties without any dislocation and deviation, failing which action will be initiated against them for the lapses.
3. Get the approval of the job chart of the employees from your MD and issue circular to all staff with the approval of your MD
4. As far as the instant case, you have to prepare a detailed Note explaining the difficulties faced by you on account of frequent leaves taken by the women employee, and bring to the notice of the MD duly explaining the nature of work suffered by you on account of the irregular employee, and inform the MD that if any dislocation is happened, you will not be held responsible for the lapses committed by your co-employees, and recommend for the suitable disciplinary action.
5. If your MD did not respond, keep the work pending and bring the same to the notice of MD from time to time and solicit his orders for further action. Keep your MD informed of every incident from time to time for further action. Then you will be safe.
6. If any senior Officer over your MD, or any Managing Committee or Board of Directors, please bring all the facts to their notice through your MD and seek advise for further action.
7. Initiate disciplinary action against the women employee for her frequent apply of leaves after getting approval from your MD and taken stringent action for her UN-authorized absences.
8. In-spite of all the above actions, things are not set righted, submit note to your MD for her dismissal from service, and appointment of a suitable substitute in her place.
9. If your MD did not agree to dismiss her, ignore the entire issue, and keep her alone isolate without giving any important work to her, and manage the work with the existing employees to avoid dislocation, as such type of while elephants will be there in some of the offices, without work and continue on the special considerations by the superiors, for which we cannot do any thing on such issues.
10. Whenever your MD called for feed back on that employee, give a detailed report about all the irregular absences of that employee to higher authorities for taking action as they deem fit. Your position will then now be safe.

Unfortunately, in any organization, everyone thinks that they can interfere with the HR functioning - let it be recruitment, increment, promotion or last, but not the least, termination of an erring employee. Your case holds as a classic example of this tendency.
In any function area, for example a doctor's, lawyer's, or design engineer's function area nobody will interefere in their function. We don't interefere in a doctor's prescription, nor do we interfere in an engineer's function while reparing our car, nor do we interefere in a lawyer's function in deciding how to frame a case - we give them full freedom to exercise their professional skill and discretion. But, when it comes to HR - right from MD to the lowest level employee, they believe it is their right to interefere in HR function and they try to enforce their decision. Hence the job of a HR professional becomes truely more challenging and tricky compared to other professionals.
In think the primary locuna in this case is - absence of this HR employee is not felt by the MD because somebody else is taking this extra workload and there is smooth functioning of the HR function. Probably, the best way to correct such an irregular employee is to assign her with the HR function of maintaining employees' attendance and preparing the payroll !!! And, most importantly, nobody else should take up this work !! Then, probably the MD would be the first person to insist disciplinary action against this erring employee.
Hope our members agree with me.
Thanks and have a nice day

Hello!
Your boss is of "theory X" attitude. Unless your loyalty is proved, he will not let you sanction the leave of your subordinate. The problem is how to prove the loyalty? The definition of loyalty has been fixed by your boss. Being "theory X", he will not share the same with you.
I think, you need to pull on the show for a couple of months before you are stamped as LOYAL by your boss.

I agreed with Mr. Netaji80, only MD can take such strong action. In this case you are not able to terminate her. So advice to keep silent. Truth come come in very short time.

Hello Richa,
You are new to the organization and the employee whom you are addressing has been there for last 3 years. She is used to access the MD directly before you joined. Now that you have come she does not want to recognize your presence. This is common in growing organizations.
First and foremost you have to speak to the MD on the reporting structure you have defined for her. He should not entertain any request from her directly as you are her reporting boss. Once he understands and respects the reporting structure it is easy for you to handle her by speaking to her. If it does not improve, you need to check the termination clause in her appointment letter which usually address this problem (if this is the only way out).

Hi,
Please talk to your MD and tell him that you would want an additional resource as you are taking the load of 2 people which is taxing for you or request for a replacement in place of this lady who reports to you.
My sincere suggestion to you would be to replace her at the earliest as there is not point in continuing with this attitude of carelessness. It would also set a wrong precedent to other employees as well.
