Counseling statements in the United States

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A counseling statement is a form of verbal or written counseling given to employees in the workforce[where?] who have violated a company policy.[1] Counseling statements, the least severe form of disciplinary action, serve as warnings for violations.[2] Counseling statements generally include the exact violation and show how one can prevent committing that violation in the future, and they improve employee performance.[2] Too many counseling statements in a job can eventually result in a suspension or termination of employment.[2]

Common reasons for counseling statements in the workforce are not finishing one's assignments/tasks, unexcused absences or tardies, loss of money (such as cashiers), insubordination. Different jobs have different ways of writing, and announcing counseling statements.
