Document background
A Disciplinary Letter is a crucial human resource management tool used in Indonesian workplace settings to formally address employee misconduct, policy violations, or performance issues. This document type must comply with Indonesian labor laws, particularly Law No. 13 of 2003 on Manpower and related ministerial regulations. The letter serves multiple purposes: it documents the specific violation or issue, establishes a formal record of the disciplinary action, outlines expected behavioral or performance improvements, and protects the company legally by demonstrating due process. It's typically issued after verbal warnings have proven ineffective or for serious violations requiring immediate formal documentation. The letter must be written in clear, specific language, preferably in both Indonesian and English for international companies, and should follow a structured format that includes all legally required elements under Indonesian employment law.
