First written warning

We may issue a first written warning if your conduct does not meet the company’s standards.

A first written warning will normally be issued by Make UK Manager or a nominated deputy. Where, at the conclusion of the disciplinary hearing, we decide to issue such a warning, you will be informed of the following:

·        the nature of the misconduct that has led to the warning

·        the action or improvement (if any) which is required of you

·        if appropriate, the timescale for taking any such action

·        the consequences if you do not take the required action or fail to improve or if there is further misconduct

·        when the warning will cease to have effect, subject to satisfactory conduct [or performance]. This will normally be after six months, but a longer period may be stated in exceptional cases

·        the right of appeal

All these matters will be confirmed to you in writing.

Second written warning

We may issue a second written warning if:

·        the required improvement is not achieved within the timescale stated in the first warning

·        further misconduct occurs while a first written warning is still in effect, whether or not involving a repetition of the conduct which was the subject of the first warning

·        the seriousness of the misconduct merits it, regardless of whether a first written warning has already been issued.

A second written warning will normally be issued by your immediate manager or a nominated deputy. Where, at the conclusion of the disciplinary meeting, we decide to issue a second written warning, you will be informed of the following:

·        the nature of the misconduct that has led to the warning, including any prior warning(s) which have been taken into account

·        the action or improvement (if any) which is required of you

·        if appropriate, the timescale for taking any such action

·        the consequences of not taking the required action or failing to improve or of further misconduct, which could be a final written warning

·        when the warning will cease to have effect, subject to satisfactory conduct [or performance]. This will normally be after six months, but a longer period may be stated in exceptional cases

·        the right of appeal

All these matters will be confirmed to you in writing.

Final written warning

We may issue a final written warning if:

·        the required improvement is not achieved within the timescale stated in the first/second written warning

·        further misconduct or poor performance occurs while a first/second warning is still in effect, whether or not involving a repetition of the conduct which was the subject of a previous warning

·        the seriousness of the misconduct merits it, regardless of whether we have issued any previous warnings

A final warning will normally be issued by an immediate manager or a nominated deputy. Where, at the conclusion of the disciplinary meeting, we decide to issue a final written warning, you will be informed of the following:

·        the nature of the misconduct that has led to the final warning, including any prior warning(s) which have been taken into account

·        the action or improvement (if any) which is required of you

·        if appropriate, the timescale for implementing any such action

·        the fact that this is a final warning and that the next stage of the procedure will be exclusion and suspension

·        when the warning will cease to have effect, subject to satisfactory conduct. This will normally be after twelve months, but a longer period may be stated in exceptional cases

·        the right of appeal

All these matters will be confirmed to you in writing.
