Questions about the Employee Warning Letter

The level of the warning, a factual description of the concern and the dates it happened, any policy it relates to, earlier warnings, what the employee is expected to do and by when, any support offered, what may happen if the concern continues, and a place for the employee to acknowledge receipt.

No. The acknowledgment confirms only that the employee received the letter. The employee may also give a written response within the number of days you choose, and it is kept with the letter.

Stick to facts you or others observed: what happened, when, and how it affected work. Describe conduct and results, not the person, and leave out personal characteristics, health matters and opinions.

Yes. Choose a record of a verbal warning, a first written warning or a final written warning. A final warning states plainly that further concerns may lead to termination of employment.
