Common use of Formal Written Warning Clause in Contracts

Formal Written Warning. A formal written warning will be initiated by a meeting between the employee, supervisor, and Principal, (or Superintendent or her designee), at which time the employee will be informed of the specific reasons for the warning and will be given the opportunity to offer his reasons and arguments in mitigation or extenuation. Such meeting will be followed within 24 hours by issuance of an official memorandum from the supervisor to the employee, with a copy for the employee's central personnel file. The employee will have the option of having an Association representative or other advisor present when a formal written warning is to be issued. Both the discussion and the warning will refer to one or more specific previous oral discussions, will be sufficiently detailed so as to let the employee know how he has failed to meet recognized standards, and will suggest, if appropriate, a course of action to improve the condition, as well as a time period to be allowed for the resolution of the problem.
