One of our employees is asking us to give him a letter stating that he is present in the office on a specific date to prove his alibi in a court case that he fighting in a different state. Is it ok to issue such a letter?

Tell the employee to put up application to this effect. Tell him to include in the application the details of the case like case number, name of petitioner, name of the respondent and in which court the case is in progress. Further he should certify that the details that he has provided are true and if the falsification is discovered then he is liable for the disciplinary action.
While issuing the certificate, include in the certificate his complete name, employee number etc. Further write on which day he was present at the work premises along with in-time and out-time. Later write purpose of the issue of this certificate.

In principle, it would be entirely wrong to issue such. false letter that too in a court matter. I would advise you to refrain from issuing any such letter.

Inform the employee that you will provide the required details directly, only if Court demands. Suresh

Dear Ramachandran,
Alike Mr Nagarkar, I am also against issue of any false certificate. Issue the certificate based on the records of attendance. While giving the reply, the word "alibi" escaped from my attention. Meaning of that word apart, I am also against issue of false certificate.
Thanks,

Question is simple-was he actually present in the office as per attendance register?
If present no harm in just certifying presence in terms of attendance register duly certified by his time keeper or department head.
He has used the word alibi but,one cannot jump to conclusion he wants a false certificate.
Off course, the employee should give an application with full details of case.
At any rate question of giving wrong certificate does not arise and also if his job is out door, then that fact has to be mentioned-Employee X log in time 1000 hrs, then field duties for the day and returned at 1800 hrs etc.

Dear Collegues,
It is right of an employee to ask his employer to issue his days of presence in the duty or work or assignment. It is also obligatory on part of employer to provide such testimonials. The employer is only binding to provide the facts as per the record & registers but not fabricated
one.
I am completely agree with Mr Nathrao and the procedural nature recommended by Mr Divekar.
The data furnished on querry keeps more weight in eye of law. But one can collect the materials to produce before the authority for one's self defence.

Dear colleague,
It is very clear from the post that the employee is asking to give false cer tificate of attendance for the day when he is absent.
I am of the view that no certificate either of presence or absence at work be issued at the request of the employee unless court demands for it.

We cannot base our actions on assumptions.
Certified attendance extract with actual dates, timings can be provided if required to substantiate employees contention.
employee needs to give reasons as to why he requires such a certificate.
No question what so ever of giving false data.
The employee must be crazy to expect false records.Everyone knows submitting false information in a court of law is perjury and punishable.

Instead of discussing ourselves in detail, let the company inform concerned employee that necessary records will be provided on demand by the Court. Normally no company issues any letter for attendance and or certifies that the employee was present. I am supporting Mr. Nagarkar's statement.
