It is important to keep a file with any warnings or actions you take against an employee. If you are the human resources go to person or just a small business owner keeping records of employee warning notices may save you a head ache in the long run. If an employee is continuously late or calling in sick and it has exceeded his time allowed you will give that employee a warning notice. Both
. you and the employee must sign and date this notice and it is placed in his file. Should you have to fire the employee for repeated offenses, you will have proof in the file that he was warned.
