Dear Danzel,

You have asked for help in writing a warning letter. The heading of your post is longer than the main body of the post. However, the details provided are inadequate. Please confirm to us:

a) What was the occasion? Why was the employee assigned duties in the reception bay?
b) Was it a temporary assignment or a permanent transfer?
c) What is the nature of the employee's duties? Is working in a reception bay area part of their responsibilities?
d) How were the instructions communicated? Was it verbal or written?
e) Since the employee did not work in the reception bay, what were the consequences? Was there embarrassment to the company's top officials? Did the company suffer any losses?
f) Is the supervisor empowered to allocate duties in the reception bay area?
g) Was the employee questioned for not working in the reception bay area? What was their response? Where did they work at that time? Did any other supervisor or manager give them instructions to work elsewhere?

Unless we know the complete facts of the case, it will not be fair on the part of the members of this forum to provide you with a draft of the warning letter.

Thanks,

Hi,

Yes, more details and background of the incident are required, as rightly pointed out by Mr. Dinesh Divekar. Whether the employee indulged in such act for the first time or on multiple occasions? Whether any verbal/written warning letter has already been issued? The above information is required to make the warning letter more precise.

In general, when an employee refuses to perform a necessary job task when ordered to do so, it amounts to insubordination.

Please refer to the below. You may edit as per your requirement. Prepared based on your limited inputs.

Just adding to the contribution of the learned seniors in this thread, please note the following two:

1. Please cite the clause number for the 'misconduct' in the Staff Manual.
2. Since 'warning' itself is a form of punishment, kindly avoid using that word alone.
