you can take action against that fellow under section 465/420 of IPC for forging your company director sign,and trying to cheat the company.u can file a police complaint in this regard.

>>> If the company has already, issued communication by redg. post on unauthorized absence, proceed to terminate the employment.

 

 

 

>>> If the company and promoters do not want litigation approach and call him and scare the hell out of him by showing the forgery, termination, and its consequences……………..

 

Issue termination order citing unauthorized absence (and forgery if the promoters agree and order it in writing). Keep copy for you.

 

If the employer wants send the matter to company’s legal cell for opinion and let the legal cell handle the matter……………………let a legal notice be issued to him.

 

If the employer wants let the company file police complaint and criminal case.

 

If he is not at the address keep the returned cover of redg. post in his personnel file, for future reference.

 

 

>>>> As a HR person limit your role to HR functions e.g. termination.

so what step i should suggest as he told me to take information how to proceed further 

like going through police complaint and then criminal case or direct court case

It is reiterated that: as a HR person limit your role to HR functions……………………… Don’t meddle into litigations. You are not aware what has transpired between the employer and employee. If the employee has indeed left without resigning……………………….proceed to initiate termination and complete the file. Of course you may check why at all he acted in such manner. If the employer wants to initiate legal action or police complaint he must be aware where Thana is and where is the office of his lawyer? You may at the most drop a verbal hint that complaint can be filed. Do not leave anything in writing. You can very well comment that it is a legal point so a lawyer should be consulted. In small and smaller companies the employers would want its HR personnel to do everything for them (even if they are unevenly paid) and be a lawyer also. The only point seems to be that it is easy to make a HR person scapegoat if the need be than a lawyer. Don’t leave your trail of criminal complaints and cases that may even chase you later. You must have joined this company to grow further. So initiate good HR practices, leave your mark, and jump to be with good companies with excellent HR practices and cross the floors. Be amongst the HR personnel that are counted amongst the finest.
