Before the imposition of any of the above penalties, the employee will be issued a charge sheet/show cause notice, clearly setting forth the allegations leveled against the employee. The employee will be required to give his/her explanation within a specified period, which will not be less than 48 hours. If no explanation is received within the stipulated time or the explanation given is not found satisfactory, an enquiry will be held into the charges wherein the employee concerned will be given full opportunity to produce his/her evidence and to cross-examine the management witnesses. The Enquiry Officer will submit his/her report to the company, who in turn, will issue final orders in writing and a copy of the said orders will be given/sent to the employee concerned. Procedures for Dealing with Cases of Misconduct If any act of misconduct is alleged against an employee, a domestic enquiry will be held by HR officer/officers or any other person nominated by management. In the said enquiry, the employee or employees concerned will be afforded reasonable opportunity to explain and defend the charges. Any such enquiry may relate to alleged acts of misconduct of several employees, where in the opinion of the Company, it is convenient to hold such an enquiry for several employees together. In the domestic enquiry, the employee shall be allowed to defend the alleged charges, only with the help of another co-employee of the company and the employee shall intimate the name of the said co-employee to the Enquiry Officer. For this purpose, co-employee means an employee working in the company and not under suspension or facing any other disciplinary action. In case, the charges against the employee are serious and/or the employee’s continued working in the office is considered undesirable, he/she will be liable to suspension, pending enquiry. The order of suspension shall be in writing and shall take effect from such date as mentioned in the Suspension Order. The concerned employee can be issued a Suspension Order or charge sheet-cum-Suspension Order. In the case of the former, the charge sheet will be issued within ten days of the Suspension Order. If during the enquiry, it is found that the employee is guilty of misconduct other than stated in the charge sheet, the employee shall nevertheless be liable to be punished for that misconduct, provided under these conditions. Before any punishment is awarded to the employee, however, the employee shall be afforded a reasonable opportunity to explain the alleged acts of misconduct. If after the enquiry, the suspended employee is adjudged guilty of misconduct and punishment is awarded, the employee shall be deemed to have been absent from duty for the period of suspension, and shall not be entitled to any salary or wages for such period beyond that which has already been paid or is payable in 25 | P a g e

The Story of BANANA KIDS in #WorldofHyattThe story so far-The genesis of “Banana Kids” like all good things in life was unexpected and spontaneous.Ilona, a guest, staying at the Hyatt Place Gurgaon on business, one day passed the slum and was moved totears by the way the children were living. Unable to control her emotions, she shared a banana she hadpicked up from the breakfast table earlier that day and gave them food hoping that she was contributing totheir livelihood. From this instance they got the name “Banana Kids”!Unable to shrug off the experience and plagued by the pain she saw in the eyes of children, she found herselfin tears when sitting in the hotel the next day. Noticing a distressed lady, the General Manager approachedher to enquire about her wellbeing. She shared her experience and expressed her desire to help the childrenand their mothers to improve their lives. This gave birth to a partnership between like-minded people. A dreamto serve and a purpose of giving back to the community in a #worldofhyatt came together to create the“Banana Kids” movement.The under privileged families comprise of mainly single mothers and children living by the road side who areleft to fend for themselves in the urban jungles of Gurgaon.In year 2017 Hyatt Place Gurgaon joined hands with Sambhavna Welfare Society, a non-profit organizationcommitted to providing education to under privileged children in the neighbourhood to embrace thechildren from the slums on the by lanes between the hotel and the school. Together we have identifiedchildren who are keen to seek education but are unable to afford this luxury (for them).To start with we have enrolled 4 kids – Sagar, Upasna, Raja & Komal in the school. Later in year 2018 theystarted going to a government school which apart from providing education also provided them mid daymeal and cash emolument of Rs 500 per month.Sambhavna Welfare Society was awarded USD 3000 for proud winners of GMOS Photo Contest from EAMESWAsia region.
