How to Write-Up an Employee

The following protocol can be followed if an employee repeatedly has issues with attendance, behavior, performance, or other work-related matters.

  1. Evaluate situation. Before beginning the write-up process, examine the incident objectively to determine whether a write-up is warranted or if a warning will suffice.
  2. Review policy. Referring to the company policy will provide a consistent basis for the write-up, identifying the specific rules violated and the corresponding procedure.
  3. Gather documentation. Any records or testimonies of the incident should be collected to support the write-up.
  4. Prepare write-up. The write-up form should specify what the employee did wrong, the corrective actions they must take, and any disciplinary measures that will follow.
  5. Inform employee. The employee should receive and sign the write-up form. The supervisor should maintain a copy of the form in their records.
