Document background
The Disciplinary Action Letter For Absenteeism is a crucial document in Philippine employment relations, used when an employee demonstrates patterns of unauthorized or excessive absences that require formal intervention. This document is essential for maintaining workplace discipline while ensuring compliance with Philippine Labor Code requirements, particularly the mandatory due process procedures. It serves as both a corrective tool and a legal document, documenting the employer's adherence to proper disciplinary procedures. The letter should be issued after verbal warnings prove ineffective but before more severe disciplinary actions are considered. It must include specific details of the attendance violations, reference to company policies, and provide the employee with an opportunity to explain their case, as mandated by Philippine labor regulations. This document is particularly important as it may form part of the employee's permanent record and could be crucial in supporting any future disciplinary decisions.
