How Do You Handle an Employee Who Regularly Misses Work Report Deadlines?

I would like to send a warning letter to an employee for not submitting their work report regularly.

Polite Reminder Regarding Submission of Work Reports

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention the importance of submitting your work reports regularly and on time. It has come to my notice that there have been some delays in receiving your reports as per the agreed-upon schedule.

Timely submission of work reports is crucial for the smooth functioning of our team and for accurate tracking of our progress. Your consistent efforts in this regard will greatly contribute to our overall efficiency and success.

Dear [Phone Number Removed For Privacy-Reasons],

The tone of the warning letter has to be admonitory. A "warning letter" without admonishment will not be a "warning letter" at all.

We, the members of this forum, are outsiders, and we do not know exactly what has happened in your company. We do not know who failed to send the report, what the frequency of the report was, to whom it was to be sent, how many times there was lateness in reporting, how many times the report was not sent at all, and how the non-submission of the report has affected the senior authorities.

Against this backdrop, I recommend that you prepare a draft of the warning letter and upload it to this forum. Some senior members, like me, will review and correct it. While drafting, please include cautionary advice or an expression of displeasure arising from the failure to send a timely report.

Thanks,

Dinesh Divekar
