Disciplinary, Dismissal & Grievance Procedures

Guidance for employers

Informal warning

When someone is not performing satisfactorily or is misbehaving at work the first priority should be to help them to improve. Have an informal discussion of the problem with them. Make sure they understand what they are doing wrong and what they have to do to come up to standard. To remind yourself, make a brief note of the date on which the issue was discussed and what action was agreed.
