Document background
The Employee Write Up Letter is a crucial human resource management tool used in Nigerian business environments to formally document workplace incidents, violations, or performance issues. This document is typically initiated when verbal warnings have proven insufficient or when the severity of an incident requires immediate formal documentation. The letter must comply with Nigerian labour laws, including the Labour Act and relevant employment regulations, ensuring fair treatment and due process. It serves multiple purposes: documenting specific incidents, communicating expectations for improvement, establishing a paper trail for potential future actions, and protecting both employer and employee rights. The document is particularly important in cases where progressive discipline is required or when legal compliance needs to be demonstrated.
