Dear Mr Nashbramhall,
The point raised by you is a legal issue. However you have correctly advised to edit the contents. But with most respect to your acumen I feel that one law would not be universally applicable. Ethically I would agree with you.

As I understand the problem from all the posts above, it seems that - Anulika is an old, experienced employee of the company and also has the backing of the CEO. George, on the other hand is a comparative new comer. He is her boss. But the old hand, Anulika, does not live up to the expectations of the new boss George. Does the finance department consist of only these two employees or there are some more people working there? If some more people are working there, you can discreetly find out, how George behaves with the other subordinates. If the feed back shows that he is otherwise behaving alright with other employees, then the problem is with only between these two. If the subordinate thinks that the boss is not guiding her properly and if they both simply get along well with each other, the only option is either to relocate her or if that is not possible, remove her from service. Organisation is bigger than individuals. You have to make a choice. Before that you may advise her to be more accommodative with the boss and work as a team instead of fighting all the time. A one to one meeting between both of them may be arranged with the strict mandate to come out with a solution among themselves at the end of the meeting. The boss - George also should be categorically told that his ability depends also on how he handles difficult employees and takes everyone on board with him instead of precipitating matters. He should be capable of making a team and running it. This advise should be given to him by the CEO.

Hi

Now that the matter has been raised, you have landed your self in the middle, you have to resolve it.

You need to make a report of the matter, with details of your previous interactions and report the same to the CEO. Your CEO will need to decide how to resolve the matter and who is more important to him.

Two matters of importance here (my perspective) :

- hr has the right to raise matters that is important irrespective of whether the persons concerned is of a higher rank. I hope you are the HOD for HR or have the approval of HOD for the mail you have sent. If that is so, you have the right to raise disciplinary issues against another person even if he is the HOD of that department.

That said, it always makes sense to treat higher ranking officers with respect and to have the CEO or director raise the matter on your behalf

- right to approve payment (or any other accounting function) in accounts is not necessarily the sole right of any one person. The company is free to gove the right to one or more persons. Most companies have duel approval systems, or slabs governing who can pass a bill, etc. it is guided solely by the policy of the company and what your accounting manual says

Again, the CEO will decide on this matter
