When a conduct or performance issue occurs, you shouldn’t wait around to watch it develop into something more serious. Handling problems effectively and efficiently is often key to avoiding formal disciplinaries, dismissals, and even tribunal claims.
One of the first steps you should take is a verbal warning—the other is a letter of concern. In this article we’ll take you through how to use this letter properly and provide you with a sample document to use in your workplace.
What is a letter of concern?
A letter of concern to an employee in the UK is a document you can send accompanying, or separate to, a verbal warning. This is usually following a concern with an employee’s performance or an issue of misconduct.
This isn’t a formal document and doesn’t need to be kept on an employee’s record. You can keep it on record if you choose to do so, however.
