Hi,
First find out does the person really done this? if so we have to discuss with him if he accept the mistake terminate him with evidence.He is the person to take care of company's confidential .if he is good performer we can warn him , if he is not let him go.
It's should not be disclosed and speak with him politely , make sure you have all the evidence with you.
We can ask clarification with other companies (only hard coding ) but he should disclose project's complete codings
Thanks

Dear Riya
Greetings!
To my knowledge, even though he is a good performer we can't take him back in any company. As per IT policy, he violated the policy. Its better to terminate him rather to get the feedback from him and consider for future project.
Its my suggestion.

Hi sangeeta,
This is a case(Theft) which can b seen in manufacturing & retail industries..
1.Pls go through your company policies..in which remedies /treatment in such cases would be mentioned.(or)
2.Obsrerve his appointment letter which may mention the required actions.
3.Lodge a police compliant against the action (which i suggest the least).. but , im sure it works.but be sure you have some proof.
4....But do not entertain such employees by rejoining / continuing his employement.. as it might become a regular practice
pls mention for any corrections...
regards.

Dear Sangeeta,

We have a concept, "The Relation Documents" in Hr. The list in this are: 1. Offer letter 2. Appointment letter 3.NDA & NCA and the list goes on which makes a relation between company and employee.

For this situation, I request you to go through Appointment letter and NDA.

Non disclosure agreement shall state the request and cause of the disclosure of "any belongings about company" . I which data & information is also included.

Appointment letter must state the disciplinary action:

In connection with your employment and during the term of your employment you shall disclose and assign to "XYZ COMPANY" as its exclusive property, all developments, designs, photographs, concepts, pictures etc. developed or conceived by you solely or jointly with others and shall comply with the Policies of the Company in relation to Intellectual Property.

Violating this clause shall lead to any disciplinary action according to the company rules. Which can be lead to termination from the company's roles immediately.

This statement is must.

Please go through your company documents according to which you can take an action.

Regards,
Shiv

Hi A2Z,
I have some queries on your posting.
1. how you came to know abt the data steal from ofis?
2. who is the person who informed you on that/
You action: set up a grp or committe comprising of a technical lead or PM from other teams, a HR and some executive from business, infrastructure and network
The purpose of the grp is to have set of interviews (sort of interrogation) with the person.
Network team or infrastructure team will be having some applications which can give you details of what is been sent thru emails. get those details.
technical lead has to analyze how critical is the data, what are the implications, and so forth.
business executive must provide all approvals or any additional authority that can be extended from business perspective
if you got all the details, yes, sure, You must terminate him and give a paper notification saying that this is with the person. No one must repeat the act.
But before doing that, you must have strong evidence on that.
