Warning Letter for Unprofessional Behavior

WARNING LETTERS Kate, , , , , , , ,

A warning letter for unprofessional or unethical behavior is used for correcting the violations and it is issued to an employee for informing why his/her behavior is unacceptable. The employee is warned before a letter is issued, but if they still don’t improve then serious steps are taken. This unacceptable behavior warning letter is for those individuals who don’t have reasonable behavior with the other employees while working in an office.

Unprofessional behavior includes:

  • Verbal abuse
  • Offensive language
  • Physical or verbal threats
  • Offensive gestures
  • Bullying
  • Carelessness in working

Before providing the individuals with a warning letter, a person is provided the notice to improve his/her conduct; a meeting is arranged in which the employee is provided with a chance to respond to any allegations. A record of the meeting is made and after considering everything, the officials go to the conclusion of why the individuals behaved in that specific way.

After that a formal written letter is issued to the employee based on his/her record of employment, this letter usually includes a statement on which the behavior or performance has been reviewed by the organization along with the date.

The letter contains a detailed description of the incident, the response that was given by the employee, and a clear statement of why the behavior of the employee is considered unsatisfactory. It is also clearly stated that if there would be no improvement in the behavior of the employee then he/she would be terminated.

Clock card fraud

Dear John,

I was just reviewing the camera recording for the last week. I can see you clocking in and out for your colleagues. You have been caught doing this in the past as well. This is against the company policy and detrimental to employee morale.

Sleeping on duty

Edward,

I hope you are doing well.

You have been found sleeping on your desk on several occasions. Sleeping in the office does not sound very good and is compliant with the office discipline. You have breaks and dedicated spaces for taking rest. Also, you should try to get a good night’s sleep. Sleeping during office hours will affect your productivity and make you look unprofessional. If you are not feeling well, you can speak to your manager and take a day off rather than sleep.

We are writing this warning letter and we expect you to follow the office policies and rules.

Regards,

Threatening conduct

Dear Lee,

Our company has always taken pride in the safe atmosphere that we create for our employees. We have received a complaint from one of your colleagues regarding you threatening them. This not only creates an environment of enmity, but it also scares other people at work. Teamwork is the key to any successful project and disagreements are a part of office life. We expect all our employees to maintain cordial relationships with each other.

We are writing this warning letter to inform you that this behavior is not at all acceptable and we will have to take serious measures if this is repeated in the future.

Regards,

Warning letter for bribery

Dear John,

With a lot of remorse, I am writing this warning letter. You are aware of the company policies and accepting gifts from clients. It has come to our attention that you have been taking valuable gifts and money from the client. And in return, you are sharing our confidential information with them. This constitutes a criminal offense but considering your service to the company, we are issuing you a warning letter and not taking any additional steps.

Please make sure this does not happen in the future as we will terminate you without any further notice.

Regards,
