Sleeping while on duty is misconduct. Disciplinary action can be taken against the employee. A Standing Order is necessary for this purpose. Certified Standing Orders can assist in determining the appropriate punishment, but the absence of a standing order does not hinder initiating action against an employee. The key requirement is to provide the accused employee with an opportunity to be heard before any punishment is imposed. This principle should be followed in cases like sleeping on duty. The employee may have had a sleepless night for a genuine reason, such as attending to a hospitalized daughter. It is essential to inquire about the circumstances before making a decision. Typically, a first-time offense warrants a warning only, without any punitive measures.

I think you have a wrong idea of Standing Orders. If your organization is of a certain size, the Standing Orders Act applies. If you do not have your own standing orders, then you need to follow the model standing orders.
Check the model standing orders of your state and see what is the rule regarding sleeping on duty. You need to follow the same. If you want to make your own standing orders, then you need to start with the model standing orders and add what you want. However, the modified (called certified) standing orders need to be approved by the Labour Commissioner first before they can be applicable.
Can you rephrase your question, please?
