warning givenbutstiilnotrecieved written notification

Hi

back on 27th March this year i attended a disciplinary hearing whereby the outcome was that i was to be given a verbal warning in writing under the definition of 'Manner of Performance of Duties and Attitude to Work', and was told i would be able to appeal against the decision within 4days of receiving the warning in writing.

it is now 23rd June and i still have not recieved the warning in writing and now another incident has occurred whereby it is alleged i may have commited a similar offence and a current investigation is taking place.

What i want to know is where do i stand should further disciplinary action take place?.........

Surely the company has broken procedure by not issuing me with the warning i am suppossed to have received from 27th March.....is this correct? There must be some sort of reasonable timescale for which they should have issued me with my warning in writing, and i find it difficult to believe allowing 8 weeks to go by without yet recieving is not reasonable, am i correct?

Or will the warning from 27th March still stand even though i have not been issued with it in writing, thus allowing them to issue me with a second and written warning if found guilty of this newly alleged incidence?.

A verbal warning is a verbal warning. There is no requirement for it to be given in writing. If there were, it'd be a written warning which is the next step up the disciplinary scale.

The warning from March will most likely be in your employee record and would still stand.

Where I worked, the fact that a verbal warning had been issued was recorded in writing on the employee's file. I would a) look at your company grievance and disciplinary procedures and b) phone HR and ask them!

My company disciplinary procedure states that an employee will receive a copy of 'any' warning. And at my disciplinary hearing i was told i would receive a copy in writing.
