as employees on Contract, employees on Foreign posting to BVM from Government of Bihar and
employees on Third-Party Payroll, except otherwise provided.

48
BVM – Code of Conduct
Gifts, entertainment and Employees cannot accept gifts from vendors/suppliers since it can put
4
other gratuities offered employees in a position of obligation
4. Disciplinary Action
Disciplinary procedures may also be used where employees don’t meet their employer’s expectations in
the way they do their job. These cases, may be termed as unsatisfactory performance (or capability), may
require different treatment from misconduct, and disciplinary procedures should allow for this.
49
BVM – Code of Conduct
Acts of Misconduct
“Misconduct” means improper conduct or wrongful behaviour. However, while dealing with employees in
an organisation, the term 'misconduct' has to be seen with reference to the rules and regulations applicable
to the various categories of employees working in the organisation.
Report of Misconduct
Complaint is the starting point of any disciplinary action. For initiating disciplinary action the management
should invariably get a specific written complaint. Complaint is clear, sequential narration of the facts of
incidence of indiscipline by the complainant.
Since any disciplinary action may have consequences for the said employee, it is essential that every
complainant should bear in mind the following:
• Reproduce in writing whatever has happened immediately and not rely on memory
• Submit the complaint in the shape of report of misconduct without any delay to superiors
• Avoid dictating the complaint to somebody else
• Submit the complaint in writing. It could be typed / handwritten or sent by an email
• Narrate the actual facts rather than adding impressions or guesses
• Take written statements of all whoever has any facts relating to the complaint or witnessed the
incident
50
BVM – Code of Conduct
Preliminary Enquiry
As soon as a complaint is received, a prima-facie fact finding should be done by the Officer who has
received the complaint and thereafter a formal charge-sheet may be issued to the concerned employee.
The procedure for taking disciplinary action against any delinquent employee must be based on principles
of "natural justice" - that are in conformity with the principles of a Welfare State.
To hold an enquiry in conformity with the principles of natural justice, the following conditions are to be met:
• The employee proceeded against has been informed clearly of the charges levelled against him
• The witnesses are examined ordinarily in the presence of the employee in respect of the charges
• The employee is given a fair opportunity to cross- examine the witnesses
• The employee is given a fair opportunity to examine his own witnesses, including himself in his
defence if he so wishes
• The enquiry officer records his findings with reasons for the same in his report
Charge Sheet
51
BVM – Code of Conduct
Service of Charge-sheet
Serving the Charge-sheet on the delinquent employee plays a very important role in disciplinary
proceedings. Hence, all efforts should be made by the employer to see that the Charge-sheet is served on
the delinquent employee.
• The Charge-sheet may be handed over to the employee and his signature or thumb-impression of
his having received the same obtained on the office copy.
• If the employee concerned asks for the Charge- sheet being made out in the language that he
understands, the same should be done.
• If the employee either refuses to accept or give acknowledgement of the Charge-sheet or is not
present in the Organisation due to suspension or any other reason, the Charge-sheet should be
sent to his last known and recorded address (both local as well as permanent) by Registered Post
/Speed post/ Courier with acknowledgement due.
• In case of absence or refusal of the employee to take the Charge-sheet or refusal to give
acknowledgement of its receipt, a copy of the same should also be displayed on Notice Board. If
all efforts to serve the Charge-sheet on the employee fail, the Charge- sheet may be published in
some local/regional newspaper with a wide circulation.
Suspension
• Suspension from duty means keeping an employee away from work-place temporarily for reasons
of discipline. Suspension does not mean removal from service.
• If an employee has committed such serious acts of misconduct such as assault, sabotage and his
presence inside the work premises poses threat to safety of other employees and material, he may
be placed under suspension immediately.
• The disciplinary authority has a right to keep an employee under suspension, if he is accused in a
court of law of any criminal offence, until the disposal of the trial. In this case sufficient evidence is
required from the Police / Judicial authorities.
• Even though an employee is not suspended pending enquiry, if it is decided to punish him by way
of suspension for the acts of misconduct committed by him, the disciplinary authority may do so
after the conclusion of enquiry in which case the suspended employee will not be entitled to any
payment for the period of suspension since it is a punishment imposed on him.
• During the period of suspension, the suspended employee shall not enter the work-premises
without the permission of the disciplinary authority or any other authority competent to do so.
• If an employee suspended pending enquiry submits resignation, it is normally not accepted unless
it is in the company's interest.
52
BVM – Code of Conduct
The penalty proposed should normally be commensurate with the gravity of the 'misconduct' by the
Reporting and/or Appellate authority.
Warning
Warning will be in writing. When it is in writing, it forms a part of one's record of service and reflects on the
conduct and efficiency of the employee. It can also be used in awarding severe punishment in future, in
case of habitual repetition of the same offence.
Issue of warning does not affect wages of the employee nor does it have any bearing on the status or future
increment of the employee. It merely amounts to a displeasure by the management that such an act of the
employee is not looked in with favour by the management and is just to inspire awe in the mind of the
employee to be a bit more vigilant, careful and responsible and make it clear to him that if he persists in
that action it is likely to bring him into trouble.
Fine
It may be defined as sum of money fixed as penalty for an act of misconduct. It is a deduction made from
the salary of an employee as a punishment.
Forced Leave
Forced leave may be ordered as a punishment (as a penalty), or can be inflicted on an employee after the
completion of the formalities of the disciplinary proceedings. For this period there will be no honorarium.
APPELLATE PROCEDURE
An employee on whom any of the penalties is imposed shall have the right of appeal to the authority notified
in this behalf. The appeal shall be submitted within 7 days of the receipt of the order of the disciplinary
authority.
The opportunity to appeal against a disciplinary decision is essential to natural justice. Defects in the original
disciplinary procedure may often be remedied through a properly held appeal.
