Recently a senior employee was not abiding by the rules of signing the muster and there was no malicious intention into it. The HR sent a warning mail with subject "Indiscipline", which was highly objected by the employee as well as the CEO, we do have the biometric system for recording the attendance.

My question is "was the word Indiscipline appropriate" ???


Thank You

since the matter is related to a senior employee, you should have used little polite & flexible words instead of using the word 'Indiscipline'.

You shold have used words like 'not following company's standard rules & regulations'.

I think 1st you should have written a request letter to the said senior employee to follow the "standard rules & regulations" which is applicable to all and also the problems the HR dept will face if attendance are done properly.

thanks

Hi,

'Indiscipline' is a very strong word and as a HR, we should use this word only when the incident is a serious matter.  In case of not signing the attendance muster, it was better to use other words like non-compliance of policy or not adhering to the policy etc..

Regards

Giri.

"insubordination" is again not the right word to be used in your case as "insubordination"  means disobeying / not following the instructions of a senior.
