How do you protect your small business from employees who are constantly being warned from their managers?
According to Employment Attorneys, the first rule to protecting your company is documentation! This is the only way your small business can justify discipline or termination for an employee and it is an effective way to manage and correct employee performance problems.
An employee written warning is simply a piece of documentation in a form, letter, etc. to a member of your staff explaining that their job performance has been been unsatisfactory. This form must provide specific details about the problem including dates, names, witnesses, where, etc. and explain the consequences of continuing violations or infractions.
