Disciplinary Action Form

A disciplinary action form is a document used to record and communicate a formal corrective or punitive measure taken against an employee for a violation of company policies, procedures, or standards. It typically includes the employee’s name and position, the date and nature of the violation, the specific disciplinary action taken (such as a warning, suspension, or termination), and any follow-up actions or expectations. The form may also include a space for the employee to acknowledge receipt and provide comments or explanations. Disciplinary action forms are an important tool for organizations to ensure consistency and fairness in their disciplinary processes, to document and track employee performance issues, and to protect against legal claims or disputes. They should be based on clear and well-communicated policies and procedures, and should be used in conjunction with ongoing coaching, feedback, and performance management.
