WARNINGS ARE CONSTRUCTIVE TOOLS

26 Apr WARNINGS ARE CONSTRUCTIVE TOOLS

Verbal Warnings       

• May prompt employees to modify or stop conduct that violates rules or policies.  
• Sufficient for minor or isolated violations of rules.

 Written Warnings         

• Can serve to remind employees of the consequences of continuing to violate your company’s rules or standards of conduct.
• Progressive warnings may ultimately place an employee on notice that further infractions may result in suspension or dismissal. 
• Using warnings reasonably and consistently is essential to providing the paper trail or documentation necessary for defending your company’s interest against unwarranted claims and frivolous litigation.
