Hello,
To all HR professionals in Dubai!
I would like to ask for advice on the following:
Explaining the whole story:
One of my subordinates asked for vacation where she already purchased the ticket prior to my approval. However, I had to reject her vacation due to operational reasons and not meeting the annual leave policy. Last week she reported sick and sent me a medical certificate to the office for only 2 days. She did not come back for the rest of the week, stating she is still not feeling well. She did not call me, just texted. So, I became suspicious that she went on that holiday, and she did!
Anyway, when she filed her vacation request, she submitted her request along with the ticket printout. My HR assistant is her friend. So, when I came back to the office after the weekend, I wanted to check the flight number when she has flown to get the proof. However, the ticket and vacation request are missing!
So, my question is, I want to terminate both of them for absconding and dishonest and unethical conduct, and my assistant for disclosing company secrets (she has leaked some info before as well).
Can I process immediate termination? For my assistant, I am positive that I can because she breached confidentiality. However, the other one I am not sure. Please advise!
