Subject: Show Cause Notice — Gross misconduct
Dear Employee,

It has been brought to the attention of the Management that on 10 August 2026, you allegedly engaged in conduct that constitutes gross misconduct.

You are hereby called upon to show cause in writing within 7 days, on or before 17 August 2026, as to why disciplinary action — including but not limited to termination of employment — should not be initiated against you.

A personal hearing has been scheduled on 20 August 2026 at HR Conference Room, where you may present your case in person and produce any evidence in your defence.

Please note that failure to respond within the stipulated time, or to attend the hearing, will be construed as your acceptance of the allegation, and the Management will be at liberty to proceed with the matter ex-parte and take such action as it deems fit.

This notice is issued without prejudice to the rights and remedies available to the Management under the contract of employment, the company's policies, and applicable law.

Sincerely,
HR Director
