: Provide space for the employee and manager to sign to acknowledge the discussion. 2. Formal Report or Academic Write-Up
A "write-up" generally refers to one of two things: a or an employee disciplinary notice .
: State what will happen if the behavior continues (e.g., "Further disciplinary action, up to and including termination").
: Describe the behavior precisely. Include dates, times, and specific examples rather than generalizations (e.g., "Late by 20 minutes on April 12" instead of "Often late").
If you are summarizing a project, research, or meeting, use a structured format to ensure flow and professionalism.
A proper disciplinary write-up should be objective, clear, and focused on improvement.
: Cite the specific section of the Employee Handbook or company policy that was breached. Action Plan : Outline exactly what must change and by when.
