Document background
The Written Reprimand Form is a crucial document in the formal disciplinary process under English and Welsh employment law. It should be used when verbal warnings have proven ineffective or when the severity of an incident requires immediate formal documentation. The form serves as an official record of misconduct, detailing specific incidents, policy violations, and required corrective actions. It must align with ACAS guidelines and the Employment Rights Act 1996, providing clear documentation of the disciplinary process while protecting both employer and employee rights. The document typically follows after an investigation and disciplinary meeting, forming part of the employee's permanent record.
