Hi,

Gather more information from the supervisor about the employee and the reason which forced the supervisor to recommend a memo. Analyze the gravity of the issue to determine if it warrants a warning/memo or just a verbal warning. Check the employee's personal file for any related past issues.

If the issue is minor, call the employee to warn them and obtain an apology letter. However, if the misconduct is significant in terms of quality or discipline, issue a warning letter to the employee. Always ensure that the supervisor's recommendation is in writing, either through email or other forms of written communication.

Advice memos/warnings are the prerogative of the supervisor who is controlling the employee. It is seen that the unpleasant task of disciplining a subordinate is left to HR while pleasant duties like promotion, leave sanction, probation confirmation, and other administrative orders, etc., are issued by the controlling authorities.

If the present matter is also being dealt with like that, you should resist it and tell the supervisor concerned that it is his task, and you can only help by drafting the required communication.
