Document background
The Disciplinary Letter For Unprofessional Behavior is a crucial document in South African workplace discipline management, designed to address and document instances of employee misconduct while ensuring compliance with the Labour Relations Act 66 of 1995 and related employment legislation. This document serves as both a formal warning and a record of disciplinary action, typically issued after verbal warnings or in response to serious misconduct. It must be drafted with careful attention to procedural fairness requirements under South African law, including clear articulation of the offense, reference to relevant company policies, and specification of consequences. The letter forms part of the employee's permanent record and may be referred to in future disciplinary proceedings or labor disputes.
