Dear [Recipient first name],

Notice of first written warning

Further to our meeting on [date], I write to confirm the outcome of our discussion about poor timekeeping, for which you have already been warned.

Despite these verbal and written warnings, you continue to be late for work, in breach of your employment terms. Your hours of work are stated in the Statement of Terms and Conditions of Employment previously given to you. A further copy of the terms and conditions is enclosed.

As your timekeeping has not improved  I have no alternative but to issue this first written warning. If you fail to improve your time-keeping, ultimately we may have no option but to consider your dismissal.

This warning will be placed in your personal file but will be disregarded for disciplinary purposes after a period of [number] months provided your timekeeping reaches a satisfactory level.

You have the right of appeal against this decision. Your appeal should be directed to [Name | the HR Department | HR Services] within [number] days of receiving this letter. It should set out in full the reason(s) for your appeal.

Yours [faithfully | sincerely],
