Document background
A Letter of Final Warning to Employee is a crucial document in the UK employment disciplinary process, typically issued when previous warnings have not achieved the required improvement in conduct or performance. This document serves as the last formal warning before dismissal proceedings may commence. It must be drafted in compliance with English and Welsh employment law, including the Employment Rights Act 1996 and ACAS Code of Practice. The letter should clearly document the issues, reference previous warnings, set out required improvements, specify timeframes, and outline consequences. It forms a vital part of ensuring procedural fairness in potential future dismissal proceedings.
