Dear Mr. Khan

Pl. note following point

1) Have proper records of attendance (good paper work)

2) It is good you have sent an intimation to join the duty

3) Now issue him a "show cause notice"- quoting the clause if standing order-the misconduct- giving him 4-7 days time to reply.

4) After his reply- if found not satisfactory -frame a proper charge sheet with all true & factual details about his absent in last one year. (If he has previous absenteeism record. keep him ready with you). Even if he does not submit his explanations -issue the charge sheet.

5) Appoint an inquiry officer , a presenting officer and Disciplinary authority

6) Intimate about this appointment to the accused employee

7) Initiate domestic inquiry

8) Give prior notice to the employee about the inquiry- also allow him to engage a defense counsel

9) After completion of inquiry -issue copy if inquiry report to the employee -in case he has some objection -or require clarification

10) Issue a second show cause- You are found guilty of...misconduct and the disciplinary authority has decided to inflict...punishment to you as per clause..of standing orders applicable to you.

11) Inflict the punishment

12) If the employee does not appear for the inquiry- keep on adjourning the inquiry and keep on sending regd posts about intimation the date of inquiry- after providing adequate and fair opportunities you can conduct ex-parte inquiry and decide upon.

12) Remember to follow "Principles of Natural Justice"- Give adequate and fair opportunities to employee to represent his case, issue communications in language he understands, be fair and just in your approach.
