Document background
The Disciplinary Warning Letter is a crucial document in Indonesian employment relations, governed by Law No. 13/2003 on Manpower and related regulations. It is typically issued when an employee has violated company policies, professional standards, or work requirements, and serves as a formal documentation of the disciplinary process. The document is used as part of a progressive disciplinary system, often beginning with verbal warnings before escalating to written warnings. It must clearly state the nature of the violation, reference relevant policies, outline expected improvements, and specify potential consequences if the behavior continues. The letter becomes part of the employee's permanent record and may be referenced in future employment decisions or legal proceedings. Under Indonesian law, proper documentation of disciplinary actions is essential for protecting both employer and employee rights, particularly if the situation eventually leads to termination.
