Conducting Fair and Proper Domestic Enquiry

The Human Resource is the crucial component of an organization, which exploits other organization resources to achieve the organizational objectives. To attain the organizational objectives and optimum productivity from the employees, organizations provide the system of Reward and punishment. It is essential that every organization, regardless of its being a government or semi-government or private, should have a well-established reward and punishment system to guarantee to attain the organizational objectives through the people’s work. Moreover, performance, productivity and reputation of an organisation requires the employees of the establishment to be at their best behaviour and abide by prescribed ethical and behavioural standards. To this end, the organisation may take disciplinary action against acts of employees which fall short of standards prescribed by law or the organisational policies and rules. While employer reserves a right to take appropriate action against the employees who violate company policies, in order to initiate a disciplinary action, the organisation/department is required to conduct a fair domestic enquiry.
