How do you discipline an employee who is always late?
Here are ways to discourage employees from arriving late, as well as how to deal with those who regularly do:
- Use a time clock.
- Schedule a staff meeting first thing in the day.
- Be clear and consistent about the rules.
- Require phone calls.
- Institute consequences for lateness.
How do you respond to a written warning?
If the warning is warranted, respond with a letter saying the behavior will be corrected and do so. It should be considered constructive criticism and used to rectify the problem. It is also a good time to ask for help if the warning is about job performance. Ask for help in the areas needing improvement.
Can you sack someone for being late?
Misconduct can include things like persistent lateness or unauthorised absence from work. To make sure the dismissal is fair when misconduct is not ‘serious’ or ‘gross’: After the meeting – or appeal if there is one – decide whether to give the employee a further chance to improve, or dismiss them.
How long is a warning valid for?
Written warnings will remain valid for 3 to 6 months. Final written warnings will remain valid for 12 months. A warning for one type of contravention is not applicable to another type of offence. In other words, a first written warning for late-coming could not lead to a second written warning for insubordination.
