The Department of Human Resources is available to assist department management with the composition of the warning document. Copies of the warning document should be maintained in the appropriate departmental file and also forwarded to Human Resources to be placed in the official employee file. The employee has the right to grieve the disciplinary action in certain situations. Please see the Staff Grievance procedures for further information.
