Document background
The Disciplinary Action Letter For Absenteeism is a crucial document in managing workplace attendance issues under English and Welsh law. It should be used when an employee's absence pattern has become problematic and informal discussions have not led to improvement. The letter forms part of the formal disciplinary process, documenting specific instances of absence, previous warnings, and required improvements. It must comply with ACAS guidelines and UK employment legislation, including consideration of any disability-related absences under the Equality Act 2010. This formal written warning serves both as a record of the disciplinary action and as a legal document that may be referred to in future employment proceedings.
