Document background
The Employee Written Warning Form is a crucial document in Philippine employment relationships, designed to formally document disciplinary actions in compliance with the Labor Code of the Philippines and DOLE regulations. This document is typically used when verbal warnings have proven ineffective or when the severity of an infraction warrants immediate written documentation. It serves multiple purposes: documenting specific violations or performance issues, establishing clear expectations for improvement, and creating an official record that may be necessary for future reference or potential termination proceedings. The form must adhere to Philippine labor law requirements for due process, including proper documentation of the offense, opportunity for the employee to respond, and clear communication of consequences. It's an essential tool in progressive discipline systems and helps protect both employer and employee interests by ensuring fair and transparent disciplinary procedures.
