Why HR Structure is Essential
Client Challenge
A business owner and HR representative visited Adroit HR Services in distress due to an escalating employee issue that was on the verge of turning into a legal battle.
- An underperforming employee had resigned after securing another job.
- The company retained him by offering a higher salary, but his performance remained poor.
- He was secretly managing his own business while working full-time.
- Only informal verbal warnings were given; no written policies, contracts, or appointment letters were in place.
- When confronted about his behavior, he resigned—but the company responded with termination.
- The company withheld his salary due to performance concerns and policy violations.
- After 45 days, the employee demanded his salary and, upon refusal, threatened legal action through a lawyer.
With no documented proof or proper HR structure in place, the company was vulnerable to legal consequences.
