The validity period of the announcement of the remark to the employee. How to properly apply a disciplinary sanction in the form of a remark on an employee for misconduct, how much is needed for dismissal. Notice of the need to provide written explanations

To maintain labor discipline at the proper level, the manager often resorts to the carrot and stick method. The carrot method (for example, material incentives) does not always work, as opposed to it, a disciplinary sanction is applied. Depending on the degree of violation, on the amount of damages caused, the approach to punishing an employee can be different: reprimand, remark, penalty, dismissal.

Disciplinary action is a legislatively fixed method of optimizing the work of employees. It can be applied in all areas where there are employees: enterprises of all forms of ownership, public service, military service.

"Labor Code Russian Federation» dated December 30, 2001 N 197-FZ (as amended on July 3, 2016) (as amended and supplemented, effective from October 3, 2016). Article of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation 192 "Disciplinary sanctions".

Any penalty is imposed on the employee only in case of improper performance or ignoring of their official duties.

The responsibilities of each employee should be documented in job description. Familiarization with the document for the employee is mandatory under the signature. Otherwise, the employer will not be able to make a remark or reprimand, as the employee performs an ill-defined scope of duties.

The legislation of the Russian Federation does not provide for a clear sequence for the application of penalties. Optionally, a remark follows first, and then a reprimand. If the manager considered the employee’s misconduct to be especially serious, then a reprimand with entry into a personal file may well follow immediately.

Neither remark nor reprimand shall be included in work book worker. The personnel specialist makes records of disciplinary offenses in personal cards in order to control their number for the same employee.

The remark is made by the head, most often in oral, for offenses that do not seriously damage the work of the organization. The purpose of the remark is to direct the employee's activities in a more productive and safer direction. Local regulations may stipulate valid number remarks for one employee. To maintain an official record of comments, they are documenting in the form of a leader's order.

Announcement of remarks orally

The term for imposing a remark does not apply, in contrast to a reprimand (1 year).

An employee is reprimanded in case of committing serious, in the opinion of the manager, violations. Such violations include:

• action or omission necessary action resulting in material damage to the organization;
• undermine the reputation of the organization.

Consequences of remarks and reprimands for an employee

If the manager considers that the number of comments made to the employee exceeds allowable norms, then a reprimand may follow. The division of a reprimand according to the degree of severity (for example, a strict reprimand) is unacceptable according to the Labor Code of the Russian Federation.

Consequences of a reprimand for an employee:

• entering in the personal file of the employee, but not in the work book;
• employee is under special control within one year. For repeated actions that resulted in a reprimand, or actions of a similar nature, an employee may be fired;
• if the organization pays incentive payments (bonuses, bonuses), then the manager has the right to deprive the guilty person of these payments;
• the guilty person may be rescheduled for vacation (this option must be prescribed in the collective agreement, additional agreements, and other local documents of the organization).

We repeat that measures of deprivation of material payments must be documented. Each employee must sign that he is familiar with the measures of incentives and deprivation of additional payments to personnel in this organization. Otherwise, the employee will be able to prove the illegality of the actions of the management, and all due payments will have to be returned to him.

The procedure for announcing remarks and reprimands. Sample

Based on the requirements of Article 193 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation and local regulations organization, the algorithm for announcing a remark or reprimand is compiled in the following sequence:

1. Before drawing up an act on the identification of a violation, due to which an employee receives a remark or reprimand, the law requires that the employee be given an explanation. That is, in writing, set out a variant of the development of events that led to a specific negative result. 2 days are allocated for writing an explanatory note. Previously, the manager draws up a notification-request addressed to the employee about writing an explanation.

   

   The employee writes an explanatory note addressed to the head, is drawn up in a free form. Be sure to include the date and sign.

2. In the case of providing a note explaining the reason for what happened, the manager analyzes the situation and determines the measure of recovery from the perpetrator.
3. If the employee cannot or does not want to provide an explanatory note, the employer draws up an act on the identification of violations in the work of the employee.

   

4. If the manager came to the conclusion that the misconduct of the guilty employee deserves a remark or reprimand, then an appropriate order is issued. The order must be accompanied by an explanatory note of the guilty employee and an act on the detection of a violation. The employee must be familiarized with the order within five days.

   

   It is not always possible to detect a violation on the day it was committed. The manager has the right to announce a penalty within one month from the moment the employee's misconduct is discovered. The limitation period for collection is also determined by law - 6 months. After this period, if the fact of violation has not been revealed, it will not be possible to impose a penalty on the employee.

If an employee's misconduct caused material damage to the organization (for example, when a violation of tax laws was revealed), then the statute of limitations for imposing a penalty increases to two years from the date of the misconduct.

Rights of an employee to appeal against a recovery order

Despite the fact that the employer brought the guilty employee to disciplinary action without violating the law, the employee has the legal right to disagree with the order. The guilty employee has the right to state his version of the event, which is recorded in the explanatory note. The employee may have good reasons for what happened or evidence that the disciplinary sanction was imposed unfairly. An employee who stands up for the truth can apply to higher authorities to prove his innocence (labor inspectorate, courts, trade union or a special commission for resolving labor disputes).

The Labor Inspectorate is required to review the application and start an investigation within 30 days.

The trial involves the payment by the plaintiff of a state duty, the collection and provision of all documents proving innocence. The court is guided by the provisions of the civil law code, taking into account the interests of both the employee and the employer. If the dispute is resolved in the direction of the plaintiff, the court will oblige the employer to pay all the expenses incurred by the plaintiff (including the payment for the services of a legal representative) and remove the disciplinary sanction from the employee.

The commission for the resolution of labor disputes is created from among the employees of the enterprise, necessarily including a representative of the trade union (if any). The commission is obliged to start resolving the disputed situation within 10 calendar days from the date of receipt of the application. Article 385 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation determines the procedure for considering labor disputes without involving a third party (labor inspectorate, court).

The best way to resolve labor disputes is to create a commission (CCC). However, not all solutions contentious issues falls within its jurisdiction. Issues resolved directly in court:

1. Reinstatement of an employee in a removed position.
2. Recovery after dismissal.
3. Decision financial matters(nuances of accrual wages upon demotion, payment for respectful absences from work).
4. Resolution of disputes concerning the guilt of the organization in causing damage to the employee.

Removal of a disciplinary sanction

Typical mistakes of a manager when imposing a penalty

No matter how much you want to punish the guilty employee in good conscience, you should take into account possible pitfalls when imposing a penalty:

• Insufficient base of collected information, fully proving the guilt of the employee. Please note that if an employee committed a violation not by the will of intent, but by negligence, then it is illegal to hold accountable in this case.
• Violation of submission deadlines required documents(explanatory note, familiarization with the notice, orders).
• The imposition of a penalty at the time of the employee's absence from work (including due to unidentified circumstances). In this case, all issues are resolved by mail ( by registered mail with notice). A notification is sent about the submission of an explanatory note, an act of violation, an order for recovery.
• Imposing a penalty for violations not provided for by law and local documents of the organization. Here it is important to do without self-management.
• Several penalties for one offense (remark and reprimand, reprimand and dismissal). The law provides for only one disciplinary sanction for a specific misconduct.

The imposition of a disciplinary sanction, of course, stimulates the employee to better perform their immediate job duties. But this happens only when the guilty employee fully admitted and took note of his mistakes. Controversial situations that have arisen against the backdrop of furious resistance of the employee on the fact of an unfairly imposed penalty can worsen the professional microclimate in the organization up to the trial. The employer must understand the full responsibility of making a decision on recovery, especially if the issue concerns the deprivation of the employee of the monetary payments due to him. It remains only to advise the employer to adequately assess the current situation and peacefully resolve controversial issues.

Drawing up an order to remark to an employee can take place in the most different occasions. As a rule, these are minor violations of labor discipline, minor errors in work, neglect of labor protection and compliance with safety measures at work, etc.

What is a remark and how does it threaten an employee

The remark refers to the most common types of disciplinary action (read) and is the most lenient punishment. Usually, the employer resorts to just such a measure of influence when he wants to warn the employee about the inadmissibility of such violations in the future.

It is not necessary to make a remark in the employee's personal file, but sometimes employers do it. In addition, the remark may be accompanied by such an action as the cancellation of bonus payments (if this species incentives provided for by the employee's employment contract).

How long is the notice valid?

After the employer has issued a remark to his subordinate, the latter should keep in mind that a year after that he is under close supervision.

If there are no repeated violations during this period, then the remark will be automatically canceled and all the rights of the employee will be restored in full, but if something like this happens again, the offender can be punished more severely: with a reprimand or even dismissal.

It should be noted that the employer has the right to prematurely cancel the disciplinary sanction previously applied to the employee. It is quite simple to do this: you just need to release the appropriate one and familiarize the responsible persons with it, as well as the employee himself. Usually the reason for the cancellation of the penalty is repentance, clear signs of correction of the employee, strict observance of labor discipline and excellent performance.

Who writes the notice order

The function of writing a notice order may be the responsibility of any employee of an enterprise who has certain knowledge of the labor and civil law of the Russian Federation and the skills to draw up such documents. Usually this is a legal adviser, a specialist in the personnel department, a secretary, or the head of an enterprise. However, regardless of who exactly writes the document, it should be borne in mind that it is created on behalf of the company and must be endorsed by its director.

Basis for the order

Absolutely any order drawn up on behalf of the company's management must have a written basis. In most cases, this is

• or from the boss structural unit in which the offending employee works,
• as well as an act fixing the misconduct and.

Without these papers, the document will not be considered justified and in which case it will be very easy to refute it, moreover, for the absence of a basis for writing an order, and hence the penalty itself, the employer may be subject to administrative punishment.

The order of declaration of the remark

Before announcing a remark to an employee, according to the law, the employer is obliged to first record the violation itself (for this, the essence of what happened, the date and time of the event are detailed in a special act), and then receive an explanation from the employee on the fact of the violation.

Explanations must be given in no more than two working days - if they are not available, it is considered that the employee does not have good reasons to justify the misconduct committed.

If there are explanations, but the employer did not consider them weighty enough (and this opinion is confirmed in the law), this also serves as the basis for a disciplinary sanction.

If the offender does not want to sign the document, an appropriate act should be drawn up about this.

The employee in respect of whom the order is issued must be familiarized with it against signature within three days, as well as those employees of the enterprise who are responsible for the implementation of this order.

The procedure for imposing a disciplinary sanction should be treated very carefully, because if it comes to proceedings in the labor inspectorate or court, the entire process and every piece of paper in it will be considered “under a microscope”.

Rules for drawing up an order

Today, there is no unified sample order for a disciplinary sanction, so employers can write it in any form or according to a template developed within the enterprise. However, this document must contain a number of specific information, including:

• name of company,
• Document Number,
• the date and place of its compilation,
• personal data about the offending employee (his position and full name).

In the order, it is necessary to indicate the reason for its creation (i.e., indicate the essence of the claim against the employee), the date of the misconduct, and also provide links to the basis. The latter are usually an act fixing the violation and a report or memo from the head of the offender and an explanatory note (if any).

Rules for issuing an order

The order can be drawn up in different versions: both in handwritten format and in printed form, both on a plain A4 sheet and on letterhead enterprises. However, he must have original autograph of the company director or a person authorized to sign such papers. It is not necessary to endorse it with a seal, since it refers to the internal administrative documentation of the company, moreover, since 2016 legal entities exempted from the need to certify their documentation with seals and stamps.

Does the employee have the right to challenge the order?

An employee of the enterprise who does not agree with the disciplinary sanction imposed on him has every right to challenge this order. True, you should first stock up on any written evidence of innocence or legislative acts confirming the correctness of the employee. If the employer does not agree with the above arguments, you can contact labor inspection or at the very least go to court.

A remark as a disciplinary sanction is often used in various enterprises and companies. It is resorted to if the employee does not fulfill the requirements indicated in the employment contract. According to the law, in addition to the remark, the employer can reprimand the employee and then fire him.

A disciplinary sanction in the form of a remark is applied to an employee if he:

• did not fulfill his labor duties once;
• did not grossly violate labor duties (being late for work).

Remarks the employer draws up only once. If the employee again committed such an offense, then more serious methods of disciplinary action are applied.

Important! The employer needs to have evidence before issuing a notice order. If the notice order is issued without evidence, then it violates the labor code and can be canceled by the relevant authorities.

Lateness and any other non-gross violation can be recorded:

• view CCTV recordings;
• having issued an act signed by 3-4 witnesses;
• collecting information from checkpoints.

As soon as a disciplinary sanction is imposed on an employee in the form of a remark, he ceases to receive bonuses and other bonus payments. This right of the employer is enshrined in the labor code.

Notice validity period

The notice is valid for a whole year after it has been applied to the employee. If during this time you are not subject to disciplinary action, then it will be canceled automatically. You can remove it from the employee ahead of schedule. The decision on this is made by the employer himself, by issuing an appropriate decree, or by the trade union organization.

The validity period of the notice changes if:

• the employee fell ill, took a vacation, is under investigation or on a business trip;
• misconduct was found after an audit, financial or revision check.

In the latter case, the period of disciplinary action is increased to 2 years. The note is not recorded in the workbook. If the employee has committed a second misconduct and the employer decides to issue a reprimand again, then the period of their validity is summed up or the countdown begins from the date the last disciplinary sanction was imposed.

Remarks and other methods of disciplinary action can be avoided if a trade union functions at the enterprise and meetings of the labor collective are held regularly. With almost all employees, they first talk, and then discuss the misconduct in front of the team. If these measures do not help, then the employer resorts to an officially issued remark.

You can avoid filing a disciplinary sanction for an employee.

To do this, you need to support the explanatory:

• medical certificate (in case of your illness or relative);
• a recording from CCTV cameras or an act confirming that there were no materials for work, working conditions were violated.

If the employee does not provide an explanatory note with evidence within 2 days, then the manager will issue an order to issue a disciplinary sanction in the form of a remark.

If the employee continues to violate the terms of the employment contract within a year after the remark is made, the employer has the right to dismiss him.

Also, the manager does not have the right to impose any disciplinary sanctions on the employee if he did not put his signature on a document confirming his familiarity with the principles of the company's internal working order.

The employer will need to prepare documents confirming the fact of non-fulfillment of any labor function. If they are not, then the issued disciplinary sanction is declared invalid.

Once the supporting documents are ready, you must:

1. Draw up an act or memorandum regarding the misconduct of an employee.
2. Require the employee to provide an explanation in writing.
3. After 2 days, if an explanatory note was not provided, enter the refusal in the act / report.
4. If an explanatory note was provided and the reasons indicated there are not valid, then issue an order to apply a penalty.
5. Record the order in the order log.
6. Announce an order to the employee under a personal signature.

The order must contain references to local acts enterprises and on documents confirming violations of the employee. The employee must familiarize himself with the recovery order within 3 days. If he does not do this, an appropriate act is drawn up.

What to do if you do not agree with the disciplinary action?

If you think that you have been unfairly punished for a misconduct, then simply go to court, the State Labor Inspectorate or other bodies involved in resolving labor disputes. As soon as your application is accepted, the verification will begin. If it is established that the employer punished you groundlessly, then he will be brought to administrative responsibility. He will also have to repay all stimulus payments with interest.

Negligent employees are a headache for any leader. Even being the owner own business, you cannot punish your employees as you please, this issue is quite strictly regulated by law. The current labor legislation allows that an employer has the right to apply a disciplinary sanction to an employee for a misconduct. The Labor Code establishes both the types of punishments for offenses (reprimand and reprimand) and the procedure for their application.

Disciplinary sanction: types and grounds for imposition

So, the employee committed an offense for which the employer intends to punish him. First you need to decide on the type of influence applied. There are the following types disciplinary actions, in increasing severity of punishment: remark, reprimand, as well as the dismissal of the perpetrator on the appropriate basis. The right to choose a specific penalty belongs to the employer. But far from any ignorance of the requirements for an employee, a disciplinary sanction can be applied.

The legislator interprets a disciplinary offense as a failure to perform or improper performance by an employee through his fault of the labor duties assigned to him (Article 192 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation).

A disciplinary offense is a type of offense committed within the framework of labor relations. Only such actions or inaction of an employee that are directly related to the performance of his labor duties can be recognized as such.

The employer has the right to independently choose a punishment for a late employee, as long as it is proportionate and within the law

For example, it cannot be considered a disciplinary offense for an employee to refuse a public task or to participate in a subbotnik, as well as ignoring instructions from management that are not related to the labor function of this employee. It is impossible to punish for refusing to go to work on a day off, since involvement in such work can be carried out only with the consent of the employee. The use of profanity, insults to colleagues and others similar actions can be regarded as a disciplinary offense only in cases where the commission of such actions is expressly prohibited by the internal labor regulations of the organization.

For failure to perform labor duties, disciplinary liability can follow only when this particular duty is directly indicated in the regulatory document - an employment contract, job description, labor protection instructions, an order, etc. - and the employee was familiarized with this document against receipt.

Grounds for penalties: violation of internal labor regulations and failure to perform official duties

Legislation classifies the following acts as gross violations:

• absenteeism (absence from the workplace for more than four hours);
• appearing at work in a state of intoxication;
• violation of labor protection requirements, entailing grave consequences
• some others, the one-time commission of which may lead to dismissal on the appropriate basis.

Naturally, in such cases, the application of such a penalty to the guilty employee as a reprimand, even by the most humane court, will be recognized as reasonable and proportionate. But the use of a reprimand for minor misconduct, for example, when an employee is 5–10 minutes late (unless, of course, this entailed for the employer negative consequences in the form of a conveyor stop or a crowd of angry customers at the store's door) can hardly be considered justified, and in this case one can confine oneself to a remark.

In addition, it is worth paying attention to the attitude of the employee himself to the committed misconduct, in particular, what he wrote in his explanatory note. As shows arbitrage practice, in cases where the punished employee indicated that he realized the misconduct and repented of his commission, the courts consider it possible to apply a less severe penalty to him.

Is it possible to forfeit bonuses for violation of discipline

The use of a reprimand or remark is not directly related to the employee's bonus. However, if the provision on bonuses in force in the organization provides for the possibility of depriving the bonus in case of violation by the employee of his labor duties, then the employer can exercise this right. The premium from the offender may be withdrawn in whole or in part. The rule stating that only one penalty can be declared for each misconduct is not applicable in this case, since the deprivation of the bonus does not apply to disciplinary sanctions.

Also, an employee who has been reprimanded or reprimanded may be deprived of any benefits provided in accordance with a collective agreement or other local normative act employer - vacation vouchers, one-time remuneration or a gift. But only if the failure to provide such benefits to employees who have a disciplinary sanction is directly provided for by the relevant regulatory act.

But so popular in Soviet time a measure of influence on violators of labor discipline, such as the transfer of vacation to the autumn-winter period, cannot be applied under current legislation.

The procedure for applying a reprimand or remark

In order for the imposition of a disciplinary sanction to be legal, it is not enough to have grounds for punishment - it still needs to be properly formalized. Before applying a penalty, a written explanation must be requested from the employee. He writes it in any form, you just need to pay attention to the presence of the necessary dates - the commission of an offense and writing an explanatory note - and the personal signature of the employee.

October 14, 2016 (signature) I. I. Ogurtsov

If a written explanation is not provided by the employee after two working days, then an appropriate act is drawn up in any form. Such an act is signed, as a rule, by three people - the official who requested the explanatory note, and one of the employees.

Who has the right to make a remark or announce a reprimand

The head of the organization or another person authorized by him (as a rule, this is the director of personnel) has the right to impose a disciplinary sanction. Therefore, in large organizations with big amount employees, it is advisable to attach to the draft order on punishment not only the explanatory worker, but also the report of his immediate supervisor. In it, the boss informs about the fact of the violation, and also expresses his opinion about the misconduct of the subordinate and the possible punishment, taking into account the previous behavior of the employee and his attitude to work.

Making an order to announce a remark or reprimand: rules for drafting, samples and examples

An order to impose a disciplinary sanction may be issued no later than one month from the day the misconduct was discovered, not counting the time the employee was ill or on vacation. A disciplinary sanction may not be applied later than six months from the date of commission of the misconduct, and based on the results of an audit, audit of financial and economic activities or an audit, later than two years from the date of commission. (Article 193 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation).

The order must contain information about the nature of the misconduct and the norms that the employee violated.

General Director (signature) A.A. Vasiliev

Acquainted with the order: (signature) I. I. Ogurtsov, October 21, 2016.

An order to impose a reprimand or remark is presented to the guilty person against receipt within three workers days from the date of its publication (not counting the time the employee was absent from work). If he refuses to familiarize himself with the order on receipt, an appropriate act is also drawn up.

Are records of penalties recorded in the employee's work book

Information about disciplinary sanctions, unlike some types of incentives, is not entered into the employee's work book. If within a year from the date of issuing a remark or reprimand, the employee is not subjected to a new disciplinary sanction, then he is considered not to have such penalties.

Can an employee appeal a disciplinary sanction?

Art. 192 Labor Code directly says that when imposing a disciplinary sanction, the severity of the offense and the circumstances under which it was committed should be taken into account. And according to Supreme Court RF, it is also necessary to take into account the previous behavior of the employee, his attitude to work. This means that the general principle of proportionality of punishment to misconduct in labor relations must also be observed, since non-compliance with this principle may lead to the recognition of the punishment order as illegal.

As noted by the Plenum of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation in its Decree of March 17, 2004 N 2 “On the application by the courts of the Russian Federation of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation”, it is the employer who is obliged to prove that he complies with the disciplinary sanction when applying to an employee general principles legal, and, consequently, disciplinary responsibility - such as justice, equality, proportionality, legality, guilt, humanism.

Also, when choosing a measure of punishment, the employer should remember that the court is not entitled to replace one type of disciplinary sanction with another, less severe one. Having come to the conclusion that the imposed penalty is disproportionate to the offense committed, the court simply recognizes the punishment order as illegal and cancels it. And from the employer, it is quite possible that compensation for non-pecuniary damage will also be collected in favor of the employee. And as a result, the offender will not only escape the deserved punishment, but, in fact, will be encouraged. Therefore, the choice of measure should be approached as carefully and objectively as possible, without unnecessary emotions. And if the same violation is repeated, the sanctions may already be more stringent.

Complaint actions

If the employee does not agree with the imposition of a disciplinary sanction on him, he can appeal this order to the state labor inspectorate, the labor dispute commission (if the organization has one) or in court. The employee has the right to apply for resolution of an individual labor dispute within three months from the day when he knew or should have known about the violation of his right. When appealing against the order on punishment, the three-month period will be calculated from the date the employee got acquainted with it. The employer will have to prove the legitimacy of the imposition of a penalty.

It is worth noting that much more often employees appeal orders for disciplinary action in cases where, in addition to announcing a remark or reprimand, there was a deprivation of the bonus, in whole or in part.

Removal of a disciplinary sanction

There are situations when an employee, after receiving a remark or reprimand, revised his behavior and tries with all his might to make amends with a good, or even just excellent job. In this case, before the expiration of a year from the date of application of the disciplinary sanction, the employer has the right to remove it by his own order on his own initiative, at the request of the immediate supervisor of the employee or trade union, and also at the request of the employee himself. It does not matter how much time has passed since the date of application of the penalty.

What is a notice as a disciplinary sanction? It is no secret that labor legislation provides for several types of impact on an employee who has violated labor discipline, that is, committed any specific disciplinary offense.

As a rule, for light and minor violations, a disciplinary sanction in the form of a remark is assigned. This is the measure psychological impact on the worker. She does not bear any material consequences: fines, dismissal.

Remark Features

Officially employed workers often encounter such a thing as "remark". Usually, bosses make comments when a subordinate does not fulfill the conditions and obligations that were prescribed in the employment contract. At the same time, it is very important that the employee is familiar with his labor duties and this fact is recorded.

The remark is made only once. If the employee did not heed the warning and violated the rules (did not fulfill his duties) again, a more severe punishment is assigned - a reprimand. Information about this will be kept in a personal file. This is the internal documentation of the organization. When you transfer to another job, it is not transferred.

You can get a notice for the following offenses:

In case of repeated cases, a reprimand is assigned. If there is a second disciplinary offense the employer has the right to dismiss the employee, but only on condition that all violations were officially recorded.

What can a comment lead to?

As a rule, the remark is intended only to stimulate the subordinate to work better or not to make mistakes in work. This is a way of moral influence on the staff. A remark is not issued when causing material damage, therefore, the boss cannot collect fines from employees.

However, the employer may apply the following measures impact:

If the employer decides to remove the notice from the employee earlier than in a year, he signs an order to remove the disciplinary sanction, which is also included in the internal documentation.

You can formally issue a remark to an employee if his misconduct was noticed and recorded within 6 months after it was committed. However, there are exceptions. The term is extended to 2 years if the misconduct was detected as a result of a scheduled inspection, audit.

The procedure for issuing a comment

For a comment to be valid, it must be properly formatted. To do this, the head fixes the fact of violation. For example, if someone reports that an employee is late for work, but the employer did not see it himself, he can check the surveillance footage.

The following steps must be taken:

• fixing the fact of violation and preparing a memorandum addressed to the head;
• notification of the violator about the initiation of the procedure for imposing a disciplinary sanction;
• waiting for an explanation from the employee within 2 days;
• entering into the act the fact of the employee’s refusal to provide an explanatory note if he did not do this within 2 days;
• preparation and signing of an order on the application of a measure of influence;
• familiarization with the order of the offending employee.

It is worth clarifying that the employee is obliged to provide an explanatory note, as well as documents confirming either good reason or no violation. As a result of these actions, the boss can cancel the remark. If a subordinate has been unfairly punished or dismissed, he can go to court.

Sometimes employees refuse to sign an order to issue a comment. However, this does not invalidate the remark. The employer draws up another act, which indicates that the offender refused to put his signature. Therefore, refusal to sign will not help to avoid disciplinary liability. To cancel the order, you must contact the relevant authorities, the inspection, the court to appeal this decision of the leadership.
