Dear All,
What is the difference between 'Show Cause', 'Memo' and 'Warning Letter'?
Also, besides these three, are there any other formal / official letters that can be issued to employees for any act of misconduct?
I request you all to provide me details on the same with sample copies of all such types of letters.

Dear Aashanna
Memo - a simple letter of complain regarding misconduct.
Show Cause - Given to particular person on the basis of memo by specifying misconduct and related to Standing order's under what Section it is coming. Specific time is given to give the written explaination regarding the misconduct that why the disciplinary action should not be taken against?
Warning Letter - on the basis of priliminary enquiry and the explaination recieved against Show Cause notice is not satisfactory but the quantum of punishment is mot major in nature, then warning letter can be issued for avoiding the repetation of that type of misconduct in future.
Thanks and Regards
