Dear Maneeshishri,
What is the background of the case? Why did you lose confidence in that employee? Do you have sufficient evidence of the "misconduct" by that employee?
Depending on the gravity of the misconduct, you can initiate appropriate disciplinary action. Simply stating that you have lost confidence in a certain employee and issuing a letter may not be effective.
You may argue that Maruti Suzuki Motors Limited (MSML) terminated hundreds of employees for "loss of confidence." However, their case was unique. A specific group of employees vandalized company property, and a senior management personnel was killed. The terminated employees were on duty at the time but did not participate in the vandalism or hooliganism; they were merely bystanders.
We do not have all the details of your case. However, when dealing with misconduct, it is crucial to follow progressive discipline. Have you followed that process?
Ok...

Loss of confidence can be resorted to as a last step only. In the case of workers, disciplinary action can be taken based on the CSO and as per principles of natural justice. Any disciplinary procedure should proceed in stages from a warning, fine, and then issuance of a show cause notice leading to suspension after a proper inquiry. When loss of confidence is considered, the employee forfeits consideration of employment with the management. The loss of confidence letter should be a speaking order giving details of the opportunities given to the employee to correct himself and which were not followed by the employee, due to which the management has no other alternative but to resort to this extreme step. However, the management should be prepared to conduct an inquiry into the incidents leading to the loss of confidence in court.

I totally agree with Mr. Dinesh. There cannot be a standard draft of a loss of confidence letter. It would be situation-specific and depends on a lot of things. Please specify the incident to enable us to judge the situation in a better way.

I agree with the responses of my learned co-professionals. There is no standard format for loss of confidence. The reasons can be many. Unless you are specific and provide us with the complete case history, it will be next to impossible to give you a solution.
Next to doctors and lawyers, we too require the complete case history to provide you with proper advice! Best wishes

Dear All:
It's entirely impossible to have a model letter for the scenario you are faced with. Losing confidence is normally due to 'faults and fissures' at both ends, which is often a bitter pill for management to digest. What must be realized is that as professionals, we are all partners first - having such an air permeate at all levels in the corporate hierarchy gets the 'pulls and pushes' to start moving in the right direction. Then, writing the text is more a matter of language than of the issues at stake. Best of luck, everyone!

Hello Maneeshishri,
It's very commendable of you to acknowledge all the members' contributions to your query. However, you haven't mentioned even a small amount of additional information or inputs in response to some of the members' queries. Maybe this undermines the primary purpose of this forum - that of knowledge-sharing among all the members through issue resolution via discussions and evaluation of suggestions by the few participating members.
It's up to you to make the decision, I suppose - especially considering that you are not a new member.
