Includes instructions to identify the warning explicitly as a written warning, detail deficiencies with dates and amounts when applicable, and define precise corrective actions, standards, and schedules. Sets an improvement demonstration period and notes that further disciplinary action may follow, including dismissal. Also states that written warnings are not grievable under the agency grievance procedure.","WRITTEN WARNING\nFOR UNSATISFACTORY JOB PERFORMANCE\nDear _______________________:\n1.  This letter is a Written Warning for unsatisfactory job performance.\nOver the past three months I have been concerned about the adequacy of your job performance.\nSpecifically:\n2.  [Set out the specific performance problems.  Names, dates, policies, amounts, whatever information is necessary so that the person receiving the warning knows precisely what the performance problems are.  If there is more than 1 performance problem, set them out in numerical order.]\nWhen we met to discuss your performance, 3.  [whatever occurred during this discussion.]\nYou will need to make the following corrections in order to bring your performance to a satisfactory level:\n4.  [Here is where you set out exactly what the employee needs to do to achieve satisfactory performance.  Be as specific as possible.]\nDuring the next  5.  [period of time to demonstrate corrected performance - depending on the performance, this period may be from 2 to 8 weeks], you must bring your performance to the satisfactory level.  If you do not make the necessary job performance corrections I will consider further disciplinary action, up to and including dismissal.\n6.  Written warnings are not grievable under our agency’s grievance procedure.\nSincerely,\nSupervisor\nc: Personnel File of Employee\nWritten Warning Template\nPage Two\n1.  It is imperative that the warning contain somewhere in its body that this communication is a written warning.  Failure to set this out specifically will void the warning.\n2.  The specific performance problem/problems need to be set out precisely and in detail.  Vague generalities such as “your lack of attention to detail” or “your failure to manage the XYZ Program effectively” are not good enough.  If the problem is lack of attention to detail, then set out in what manner that deficiency manifested itself.  If there is a fiscal component to the performance problem, then state the amount involved as specifically as possible.  “A large amount of money” or “A serious shortfall in funding” is NOT specific.  “Nearly ten thousand dollars” is specific.  Failure to set out the performance problems specifically will void the warning.\n3.  It is not critical to recite what happened when the performance deficiencies were discussed.  It does provide a context for what will come next in the letter, however.\n4.  The specific corrections must be set out precisely and in detail.  Vague generalities such as “Correct your attendance problems” or “See that adequate funds are provided” are not good enough.  If the problem is attendance, then specific attendance standards need to be established.  If provision of adequate funding is the problem, then the amount of what is considered adequate funding must be specified.  The key here is to make sure the recipient of the letter knows exactly what needs to be done, how it needs to be done and on what schedule it needs to be done.  Failure to be specific here will void the warning.\n5.  Although not required, since the purpose of performance-based discipline is employee improvement, it is most helpful to provide at least one, if not a series of feedback meetings to let the employee know how successful (or unsuccessful) he or she is being.  It is also very helpful to let the employee know in no uncertain terms that failure to make improvements will bring about further disciplinary action.\n6.  It’s always a good idea to set this information out specifically.","cbCaijlTBlNUX4Mh","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaijlTBlNUX4Mh","doc",29696,2,"English","en",105,"# Written Warning Content\n## Required Statements and Instructions\n## Performance Problems and Corrections\n## Improvement Period and Disciplinary Notice","[{\"question\":\"What sections must be included to make the warning valid?\",\"answer\":\"The letter must clearly state that it is a written warning somewhere in the body.
