To: Employee, Classification
From: Supervisor, Title
Subject: Letter of Reprimand
This is an official Letter of Reprimand for your excessive absenteeism.
On (date) you were issued a warning letter that outlined my concerns regarding your excessive use of sick leave and placed you on leave restriction. That letter had followed a verbal counseling session that did not result in your improving your attendance.
Within two weeks after receiving this memo, on (date), you left 3 hours early to have your car repaired as you had car trouble on the way in to work that morning.
On (date) you called to say that you had to help a friend and would be late. You arrived 3.5 hours into your shift.
On (date) you left early for a doctor’s appointment that had not been previously scheduled.
An employer may reasonably expect an employee to be available for work on a regular basis and may also reasonably expect unscheduled absences to be kept to a minimum. I believe the Department has done its best to work with you, and yet there does not seem to be a commitment on your part to make the effort to be here and to accomplish your work. Should your attendance not improve, disciplinary action may be taken to bring your attendance to an acceptable level.
A copy of this letter is being placed in your Civil Service and departmental personnel files. You may respond in writing to this letter. Should you choose to do so, that response will be made a part of these personnel files.
