final written warning

[katieissy]

In what circumstances can a final written warning be given if that individual had no verbal or 1st warning before.

[Ethel]

Serious misconduct - assaulting a colleague, stealing from the employer or colleagues, ignoring express instructions and putting yourself or others in danger of injury (removing a safety guard for example).



Just a few examples. What have you done?

[Ethel]

Please ignore my previous answer - those are grounds for instant dismissal.

Final written warning as a first measure is used when the employee has committed a serious breach - drunk in the workplace, for example.
