Re: Oral Warning
On March 5th, I gave you an oral warning concerning your chronic tardiness over arriving late for work on three different occasions the week of February 23-27.



On March 5th, I gave you an oral warning concerning your chronic tardiness over arriving late for work on three different occasions the week of February 23-27. At that time you assured me that this would not be an ongoing problem and was due to your babysitter not arriving on time to care for your children. We visited and you suggested at that time that you would consider hiring a new babysitter who would be more reliable.

Since this conversation, in the last two weeks you have arrived late for work on four different occasions. I am concerned that we are seeing a repeat of the pattern that occurred in February. You had stated that the tardiness issue would be resolved and that is not the case.

I expect you to be at work on time as that is our company policy for all employees except in the case of an immediate emergency. You and I need to discuss this issue further privately in a meeting.
I do expect that you will have an explanation for this recent tardiness and that you will be able to provide me with some suggestions for how you plan to resolve this situation as quickly as possible.

A copy of this memo documenting your oral warning will be placed in your file. Unless you follow this directive concerning your chronic tardiness, you will be subject to further serious disciplinary action.
I have received a copy of this memo. ____________________________________
