Hello everyone, An urgent requirement / request - An employee of ours had been lying to the Director of Custmer Success and was'nt delivering work and during the discussion it was realised that he has been moonlighting. He also, has'nt provided his educational documents as he states inspite of repeated reminders ever since he joined in 2021. Also, on his linkedin profile he continues to show as a freelancer and has'nt added any of our employees onto his network. I have been asked to issue him a termination letter on the above grounds as he has already been communicated verbally by his reporting manager that he has been fired. Any obligations other than issuing him termination letter and processing his salary for no. of days do you see or suggest?

Important to also state the grounds of termination. Also I would suggest to put the focus on non delivery of the work, no proper response to the communication after multiple follow ups and not submitting the said documents. However that said, have you communicated that you are not satisfied with the quality of the output before? A formal communication must go out if you see that the performance is not upto the mark. Moonlighiting if against the companies policy can be grounds of immediate termination without any breakages of law since you must have put it in the employee agreement which was signed by the employee. Not updating his LinkedIn is an individual choice and I would suggest to stay clear from this reason since the company cannot force anyone to update the LinkedIn. Proper documentation and communication becomes extremely important in cases like these

Thank you!
