Hello, Please suggest on this scenario which i'm dealing currently and not sure what action to take? Employee who was associated with XYZ Organization quit without any consent or intimation (Absconded) and has not returned the assets yet. He was not responding to the number of calls or emails from XYZ Org. Now they have approached the current org to help in order to retrieve their assets. XYZ Org has mentioned to take legal action if the assets are not returned within 3 Working days. 1Q :- What action is advisable from current org? 2Q :- Any disciplinary action to taken by Current Org? 3Q :- What's best course of action to close this case ?

Since the current org does not know the details of the case, it is best for them to not meddle in the threat of legal action or take any disciplinary action against the employee. However, they should have a chat with the employee and talk about what XYZ is saying. If there is a genuine reason and the employee needs support, they can actually pitch in and help. But if the employee seems to be doing shady stuff, perhaps it may be time for a harsher conversation.

File a police complaint against the ex employee. Within 2days you will receive your company assets.

@Nidhin CK the previous company has no basis to take any action against the current organization. In the best interest you can inform the employee of the same and understand his point of view as well on why such an incident happened ask him to sort it out with the previous company in the interest of all.

Thank you guys.
