Hi, We are a manufacturing company wherein we also hire marketing professionals. I gave offer letter to a candidate, who based on the offer letter came for a training of 7 days to our office and person was staying in our company guest house (basic training about policies and products). On the 5th day the candidate got heavily drunk and did not come for training for the next 2 days. We let him go due to misconduct and withdrew the offer letter. No appointment letter was issued to the candidate or he did not even sign on the offer letter. Now he is claiming 7 days of salary and travelling expenses. We have, however, not taken any other disciplinary action against the candidate. Is my company liable to pay anything to the candidate?

Why not pay for the 5 days he attended training? He was there for you then he is due and payable for those days. You have to be fair to expect fairness from others.
Since you terminated the service, there is no question of notice period. As regards travelling allowance, what is your policy? If you have no policy frame a proper policy. Suggest you to link reimbursement with a minimum service period of one month.
You should thank yourself for getting rid such an undesirable element, otherwise the cost may have been very high. Non-issue of appointment letter is not appreciated, does not sound proper HR policy.
