Notes on This Document
1. There is a section at the end of this letter for the employee to sign.
Employees will sometimes refuse to sign these letters however, this does
not impact on the validity of the warning i.e. the warning still stands if
the employee has not signed.
2. Where possible an employee signed copy of any warnings is
preferable as this prevents future arguments about whether the
warning was given.
3. If the employee refuses to sign this letter, attach a note stating this to
the letter to be filed
