Dear friend,
In the realm of employment, misconduct refers to any of the acts or omissions of employees during the course of their employment as set out or enumerated in the service regulations. Punishment ranging from minor to major such as censure to dismissal is the consequence of any misconduct depending on its gravity is the consequence after duly following a set of disciplinary action in tune with the Principles of Natural Justice.
Therefore, it is very important that the misconduct should have been committed by the employee within the zone of his employment. As man being a social animal, it is impossible to predict his behavior or conduct all the time in all the situations. Hence the employer cannot be a moral policeman of the conduct of his employees outside the employment zone. However, it is an accepted legal dictum that If the employee indulges himself elsewhere in any act prohibited in law and gets sentenced to any severe punishment like imprisonment, of course, the employer can terminate his services. But, it is consequential only after a trial and conviction by a competent Court of Law in this regard and not on the mere request of a third party like an Insurer.

Dear Prins,
From your reply I understand that the premia to this Group Health Insurance Policy has been paid by the employer as a welfare measure.
As it is, it is the contention of the Insurance Company that some of the insured persons/employees submitted false claims with bogus bills. If so, the first step that could be taken by the insurer in this regard would be rejection of such false claims and cancellation of the insurance cover to such persons. Whether it was done by the insurer directly under intimation to the employer or through the employer? That apart it is, in my opinion, a contentious and complicated issue as the alleged false claims would have been made only on the basis of prescriptions by doctors and cash bills issued by medical shops. Is it the contention of the insurer whether the prescriptions of the doctors are wrong or the bills were bogus or both? If so, how the insurer came to the conclusion - based on their own doctors' opinions or on the basis of any investigation conducted by them? Whether the copies of such documents were attached to the letter asking the management to summarily terminate their services?
If the employer starts acting on the request of the insurer, certainly it would be a cumbersome disciplinary process as the first issue would be establishing the fact that the claims were false and the second and the foremost would be that as it is a dispute between the insurer and the insured and the employer is no where connected except remitting the premia for the claimants as a welfare measure either on his own or as per the terms of any collective bargaining agreement between the employer and the employees. Is the management ready to engage itself in such a laborious exercise simply at the request of the insurer?
Of course, the management has every right to call for the explanations of such employees as the premia was paid by them on their behalf. If the employees unequivocally admit that they did so, it is my personal opinion that at the most the management can forthwith stop this concession to such employees only for their misuse of the concession.
