The Written Warning Letter is a crucial element in Malta's employment disciplinary framework, typically issued after verbal warnings have proven ineffective or for more serious infractions requiring immediate formal documentation. This document, governed by Maltese employment law, particularly the Employment and Industrial Relations Act, serves multiple purposes: it formally documents the nature of misconduct or performance issues, establishes a clear record of the employer's concerns, and provides specific guidance for improvement. The Written Warning Letter should be drafted carefully to ensure compliance with local labor regulations while protecting both employer and employee rights. It forms part of the employee's personnel file and may be relevant in future disciplinary actions or legal proceedings. The document should be clear, specific, and fair, focusing on factual information and constructive guidance for improvement.
