An employee warning letter is a formal document issued by an employer to address a violation of company policies, misconduct, or performance-related issues. It serves as an official record of the employee’s behavior and outlines the specific concerns, expectations for improvement, and potential consequences if the issues persist. The warning letter typically includes details of the incident, the date it occurred, and any previous verbal or written warnings. It reinforces company policies, ensuring employees understand the seriousness of their actions while providing them with an opportunity to correct their behavior. Employers use warning letters as part of a structured disciplinary process to maintain a professional work environment and promote accountability. These letters can cover various infractions, such as attendance issues, unprofessional conduct, insubordination, or failure to meet performance expectations. While a warning letter is not an immediate termination notice, it serves as an official step in progressive discipline and may lead to further action if improvements are not made.
