Warning Letter

During our meeting on April 30 of this year we discussed your conduct regarding the 8 occasions you arrived to work late during the month. At that time you were given an oral warning and you stipulated that this conduct would cease. However, thus far in the month of May you have arrived to work late 6 times.

This conduct is a violation of the work agreement and is creating friction with your co-workers as well as clients who have indicated that they are having difficulty contacting you during office hours.

This conduct negatively impacts the moral of the office environment and the quality of our service inasmuch as your co-workers see this as a failure to support their efforts to make this business as successful as possible. Furthermore, your conduct exposes the company to the loss of current clientele as well as impacting our reputation for high quality service to our customers which conceivably could lead to the loss of future business from potential customers.

Effective immediately you are required to arrive to work on time as required by the employment agreement and follow all procedures required by the agreement in requesting leaves of absence. Failure to comply with this directive will result in suspension from your duties without pay for 5 days. Further violations of the work agreement subsequent to this may result in the termination of your services.

To assist you in correcting this conduct, I offer the following suggestions:
