Please tell me about the fines rule under the model standing order in case of misconduct of using tobacco products in company premises. I am working with a manufacturing unit. Many times, we have given verbal warnings. Please give me your suggestions and ideas.

What exactly you want to know about 'fines' with reference to the act of misconduct of tobacco chewing? B.Saikumar HR & Labour Law advisor Navi Mubai

Oh yes, your intention is good... very simple. Put a notice board and mention whatever penalty in rupees from Rs. 10 onwards. And now, Modi Ji's Swachh Bharat is going anywhere in India. Display PM's slogan and warn in writing. Put a hundi box at the exit for employees. The penalized money from the workers who violate tobacco rules should be deposited there.

Another suggestion: give a piece of red ribbon to the violating employee after collecting the penalty. Apply your own ideas as per your company, such as providing other benefits or delaying the penalty for the violating employee.

Good luck!

Dear Sir/Madam,

Can we give them warning letters or a charge sheet for this kind of misconduct? I have already posted a notice on the notice board advising them to avoid tobacco on company premises. Previously, we initiated the Swachh Bharat Mission in our company; however, due to some reasons, it has not been as effective as intended. Therefore, I am taking this matter seriously and intend to take strict actions against some of the notorious workers for this misconduct.

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am inquiring about the amount of the fine. According to the Model Standing Orders Act, what amount can I collect from them as a fine? I believe that once I begin collecting money for this misconduct as a fine, it will serve as a lesson for others as well.

You can impose a fine as a penalty under standing orders only for misconduct enumerated under the standing orders. Therefore, you have to issue a charge sheet and conduct a domestic inquiry to hear his case. If the charges are proved, you can impose the fine. Such a fine can be any amount not exceeding 3% of the wages payable for the month in which the fine is imposed.
