Current through Register Vol. 38, No. 24, June 17, 2024

Section 01J .0610 - WRITTEN WARNING

(a) The supervisor shall monitor and promote the satisfactory performance of work assignments and assure that employees do not engage in unacceptable personal conduct. All types of performance-related job inadequacies may constitute unsatisfactory job performance under this Section. Unacceptable personal conduct may be work-related or non-work-related conduct and may be intentional or unintentional. When the supervisor determines that disciplinary action is appropriate for unsatisfactory job performance, a written warning is the first type of disciplinary action that an employee shall receive. The supervisor may elect to issue a written warning for grossly inefficient job performance or unacceptable personal conduct. The written warning shall:

(1) inform the employee that this is a written warning, and not some other non-disciplinary process such as counseling;

(2) inform the employee of the specific issues that are the basis for the warning;

(3) tell the employee what specific improvements, if applicable, shall be made to address these specific issues;

(4) tell the employee the time frame allowed for making the required improvements or corrections. Absent a specified time frame, 60 days is the time frame allowed for correcting unsatisfactory job performance and immediate correction is required for grossly inefficient job performance or unacceptable personal conduct; and

(5) tell the employee the consequences of failing to make the required improvements or corrections;

(b) A written warning shall be issued in accordance with the procedural requirements of this Section.
