warning letter

Written disciplinary notice

A warning letter is a formal written notice that someone has violated rules, failed to meet expectations, or faces consequences if behavior continues.

Employers issue warning letters to document poor performance or misconduct: HR placed a warning letter in his file after repeated tardiness.

The term also applies to regulatory notices from government agencies alerting businesses to violations.
