Sample Warning Letter to Employee for Attendance

A Warning Letter to Employee for Attendance is a formal document used by the human resources department of a company to discipline the employee who has been consistently late or absent at work. If the employee has violated the company policy or their employment agreement by showing up late or leaving too early, the employer can take direct action to address the issue - sometimes a written warning is enough when the company believes the employee does not deserve to be fined, demoted, or fired, yet the verbal warning is insufficient to deal with the problem.

Alternate Name:

A sample Warning Letter to Employee for Attendance can be downloaded below. To reprimand an employee who has failed to comply with their work schedule, you need to greet them, confirm this message is an official reprimand for their misconduct, refer to the provisions in their employment contract and internal rules of the entity that allow you to issue a warning, describe the negative effect the employee's lack of discipline had on the business - for instance, their colleague was forced to work instead, and certify your intention to opt for more severe disciplinary actions in the future if the letter recipient does not make amends. Sign the letter, give one copy to the employee, and keep another copy in their personnel file - in case the problem remains, you will have evidence of the employee's past misconduct.
