Document background
The Cash Shortage Disciplinary Warning Letter is a crucial document used when an employer needs to formally address incidents of cash deficits or discrepancies in an employee's cash handling responsibilities. This document is specifically tailored for use in South Africa, ensuring compliance with the Labour Relations Act and related employment legislation. It should be used when cash shortages have been discovered and verified, following a proper investigation and disciplinary hearing. The letter serves multiple purposes: it documents the incident, outlines the violation of company policies, specifies consequences, sets expectations for future conduct, and creates a formal record for HR purposes. This document is particularly important as it forms part of the progressive disciplinary process required under South African law and can be crucial in establishing a fair procedure if further disciplinary action becomes necessary.
