Such notifications are a disciplinary measure that is commonly used by employers to inform their staff members that they have violated company rules and continuing to do so may lead to more serious consequences. In such a letter, an employee should mention the behavior in which the employee is being reprimanded with the relevant events and dates when the code was broken. The consequences of repeating the same mistakes will also be specified, as well as what the employee should do to improve the situation.
