Hi @KKAssociates ,

If an employee has manipulated documents and submitted them to their new company, it is a serious matter that may warrant appropriate action. Here are some steps you can consider:

  1. Gather evidence: Collect all the necessary evidence to establish that the employee manipulated documents, such as comparing the original documents with the manipulated versions and documenting any discrepancies.
  2. Review company policies: Consult your company’s policies and procedures to determine if there are specific guidelines regarding document manipulation, intellectual property, or confidentiality that can guide your actions.
  3. Conduct an internal investigation: Initiate an internal investigation to gather all relevant information, interview relevant parties, and ensure a fair and thorough assessment of the situation.
  4. Consult legal counsel: Seek guidance from your organization’s legal counsel to understand the legal implications of the employee’s actions and determine the appropriate course of action.
  5. Consider disciplinary measures: Based on the severity of the offense and your company’s policies, determine the appropriate disciplinary measures. This can range from issuing a warning or reprimand to termination of employment, depending on the circumstances.
  6. Take remedial action: If the manipulated documents have been shared outside the company, take necessary steps to rectify the situation, such as informing the affected parties and taking appropriate legal actions if required.
  7. Communicate with the new employer: If you have evidence that the employee submitted manipulated documents to their new employer, consider informing the new employer about the situation to protect your company’s interests and ensure that they are aware of the employee’s actions.

It is essential to follow the legal procedures and maintain confidentiality while dealing with such situations. Consulting with legal professionals will help ensure that the actions taken are in compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
