Document background
The Attendance Reprimand Letter is a crucial employment document used when formal action is required to address attendance concerns in England and Wales. It forms part of the progressive disciplinary process, typically issued after informal discussions have not yielded improvement. The letter must comply with UK employment law, including the Employment Rights Act 1996 and ACAS guidelines, documenting specific attendance issues, setting clear expectations for improvement, and outlining potential consequences. This formal documentation protects both employer and employee interests, providing clear evidence of fair process and communication.
