Dear Seniors,
Please guide me with the procedure and a draft for a show cause notice. One of my Branch Managers, is carrying his own business of water supply in his city.
I am looking forward to seniors for help in this regards.
There is a Condition in our appointment letter, which mentions that during the course of employment, an employee should not engage themeself in any other business or profession without written permission from the management
Please guide me with a Show cause notice.
Best regards

What is the proof that Branch Manager is carrying on other business?
He will say it belongs to his wife/son/brother etc?
drafting show cause notice is easy but proving the violation of terms of appointment /company rule is very difficult.

You should discuss this issue with him first before issuing any letter. As rightly suggested by Nathrao you must have the proof before mooting any discussion .

Check out whether the business is in his name first. Most of the time, it would be in the name of a family member. Without ascertaining the facts, in case you issue him a notice and he responds back stating that the business belongs to his family member, it would be embarassing for you and the organization. So, kindly first ascertain the facts discreetly, before you proceed with issuing a notice

Do the terms of appointment prevent employee to engage in own business? If yes then only you can take any direct action. If the same is not included now, at the time of revision of salary the next time, such clause can be included.
