Misconduct is discovered and the instinct is to act quickly. A meeting is held, the employee is dismissed, and everyone moves on.
Months later a claim arrives and the question is not whether the misconduct happened but whether the employee was given proper notice of the allegations, a real opportunity to answer, and an inquiry properly constituted and recorded.
Domestic Inquiry and Misconduct Handling Support
Support through the misconduct process — assessing whether the allegations warrant an inquiry, drafting the show cause and charge, constituting and conducting the inquiry, recording the proceedings, and advising on the outcome and any punishment.

You build the business. We help you protect it.

No problem. Most business owners aren’t legal experts! Just reach out. Our team will guide you to the right service or help you understand your options—without jargon or upselling.
Is a domestic inquiry compulsory?
Not in every case, but it is the safest route where dismissal is contemplated for misconduct.
Can we suspend during the investigation?
Usually yes, subject to statutory limits on duration and pay. We will advise on the specifics.
What if the employee refuses to attend?
The inquiry can generally proceed, provided proper notice was given and recorded.
