Free Employee Warning Letter

The Employee Warning Letter provides a basic template for officially notifying employees when they are performing below your expectations. It addresses common issues such as attendance, poor performance, or violations of company policy. It can also be used in an open-ended way if the issue does not fall under one of those categories.

The letter also allows you to state steps the employee must take and a timeframe in which to correct the situation. Wherever possible, you should be able to back up the warning in this letter with other documentation - attendance records, performance reviews, etc. The Employee Tracker is another tool on the site you can use to organize and maintain records such as these.

In order for any piece of correspondence to be effective, your original signature or initials should be included on the signature line near the end of the document, or somewhere within the document.
