Document background
The Letter Of Final Warning To Employee is a critical document in Philippine employment relations, used when progressive discipline has not resulted in the desired improvement in an employee's conduct or performance. It is typically issued after verbal and written warnings have failed to address the concerns adequately. This document must strictly comply with Philippine Labor Code requirements, DOLE regulations, and jurisprudence regarding due process in employment. The letter documents specific violations or performance issues, references previous disciplinary actions, sets clear expectations for improvement, and explicitly states that failure to improve may result in termination. It serves both as a legal protection for the employer by establishing proper documentation and as a final opportunity for the employee to address their shortcomings before more severe actions are taken.
