| Request you to go to his record, an employee taken leave for once or twice with out intimation or not attended phone call and for that issuing a memo is not a right thing.
Even if it is a casual leave also, all the time he can not inform, the sick means he may not be able to. Except in the case of Earned leave you can not insist over and above this you have to substantiate the employee is a habitual absentee / abstains with out information / permission from their immeidate superiors.
If you start issuing memos for every small thing there won't be any end for that and your time is going to be consumed in preparing, issuing, filing and taking actions on the same.
As our friend Mr. Ravishank mentioned have rapport with the people and find out what is the reason. You are requested to note that the 8hrs where employee works in the organization is his immediate superior's time and the rest 16hrs is HR time hence better understand what is his family, where he is staying, what are his concerns, habbits etc so that you can support the employee and in turn support the organization in improving the productivity by addressing the employee concerns.
Be employee friendly with out violating the set norms of the organization, then it will be a WIN WIN situation every HR needs to practice.
Sorry I believe I have not hurt your feelings, this is the reality because you are also to survive in the organization / profession.
