Neither does he vs Neither do he

Both phrases are correct, but they are used in different contexts. 'Neither does he' is the correct form when using 'does' as an auxiliary verb with 'neither' in a sentence. 'Neither do he' is incorrect because 'do' should match the subject 'he' in number, which requires 'does' instead.
