My wife is working with an Indian overseas bank as a branch manager. We just got married due to function and other issues. She marked unauthorized attendance in the bank with the help of her login credentials. Now she has been caught; there are approximately 15-20 instances of unauthorized attendance. What could be the punishment from the bank for breaking the code of conduct? Could it lead to termination? Please suggest an answer.

Depending on the disciplinary authority's view, the mitigating effect, whether you have violated the service conditions and disciplinary procedures of the organization, the impact on the day-to-day functioning of the bank, and also considering co-staff members' reactions and impact on overall discipline, may or may not consider the extenuating circumstances of being newly married.
The punishment depends on the above impact/viewpoints and within the framework as prescribed under the service conditions/disciplinary procedures in vogue.

Dear colleague,
Since your wife is occupying a leadership position as the Branch Manager of the bank, her misbehavior may be viewed seriously. However, bank disciplinary rules will dictate the final punishment. I don't believe such aberration on her part warrants termination on a standalone basis, considering the circumstances surrounding her behavior.
I hope the bank management takes a lenient view and lets her off with a lesser punishment if and when the misconduct is proved in the domestic inquiry.
