Cooperation is important both personally and professionally. Cooperation at the personal level keeps one safe from millions of troubles and worries regarding family matters.

Failure to follow all the respective rules and regulations leads to warnings at the workplace. In such cases, a formal warning letter is issued respectively.

Once an employee is found to refuse cooperation with an official inquiry, a formal warning is issued. This warning can be issued in several refusal cases. These cases can be:

  1. When an employee is making lame excuses to submit the respective documents regarding the official inquiry.
  2. When an employee is trying to avoid the meeting and discussion sessions.
  3. When an employee is using abusive language in front of the board of inquiry.

Hence, in all these cases this letter can be used. The organization’s norms, rules, and policies are important for the overall reputation, growth, and achievement of desired goals and objectives. Once, a contract is signed by an employee; he is obliged to follow all the rules and regulations strictly.
