A warning letter refers to the formal document that the employer issues to an employee due to any discomfort, poor performance or misbehaving they create in the workplace. This letter helps the employer in clarifying their expectations for the employee for future behaviour. In other words, it is a professional communication method by the HR manager to take control over a particular scenario and take strict action to make things better. With the help of a warning letter, this employer can record the communication that they have with the employee. There are various factors that the employer must consider while writing the warning letter to the employee:
- Consult the employee first
- Clarify the situation in depth
- Prepare the warning letter
- Issue the warning letter
