Document background
The Employee Written Warning Form is a crucial HR document used in Indian organizations when formal disciplinary action is required. It serves as an official record of employee misconduct, performance deficiencies, or policy violations, ensuring compliance with Indian labor laws including the Industrial Employment (Standing Orders) Act, 1946, and state-specific regulations. The document should be issued after verbal warnings have proven ineffective or when the severity of the issue demands immediate written documentation. It typically includes detailed information about the incident(s), references to violated policies, improvement expectations, and consequences of non-compliance. This form is essential for maintaining proper documentation for potential legal proceedings and demonstrates the organization's fair and systematic approach to employee discipline.
