HR Dilemma: When Should You Issue a Warning Memo to an Employee?

Hi, I am working as an HR professional and I need this for my reference. I want to know the process for when to issue a warning memo to an employee.

Thank you.

Understanding Warning Letters in Employee Discipline

Warning letters are issued to employees for minor misconduct. The issuance of a warning letter is one form of punishment. It serves as the initial step in progressive discipline. The severity of the misconduct determines when a warning letter is issued, and there is no set timing for its issuance. Warning letters are not issued arbitrarily; they are not crafted just to satisfy an HR professional’s drafting skills.

Thanks,
