Situation #1 -- Poor Employee Performance

Welcome to Let's Chat! 

Our goal is to provide you information and samples for dealing with online business communication problems. In this post, we will discuss how to reprimand an employee for poor performance behavior. See our sample letter below!


 Dear (Employee)


This official letter has been sent to you as a formal reprimand for your failure to follow in accordance with the company’s dress policy standards. As you know, our company is increasing with its popularity and reputation, and thus needs to uphold high standards regarding our dress code.

Our dress code is Business Attire, this means clothing that not only covers the whole body, but also is highly professional. This is a written warning about the attire you wear. There will be no other warning given out. We value our employees and our customers. When customers don't feel as comfortable in our office because of the way our employees dress then there is an issue.

As you read in the employee handbook,here at Essentials we value our employees to be one of our most important assets. It is our desire to relay the importance of taking pride in our outward appearance to fellow teammates as well as customers. Please refresh your memory by referencing the handbook on our policy regarding dress code. We would be happy to clarify and answer any questions you have.  Thank you for your devotion to our company and for understanding our stance on our dress code. We look forward to continuing to make a difference in the marketplace with you.


                           Sincerely, 



                          (Employer)



Tip: While it is important to reprimand the employee and let them know of a grievance, a problem such as a dress code violation can be seen as highly embarrassing and therefore should be handled in a professional and delicate manner without demeaning the employee.
