Sanctions that employees could face if they fail to meet their responsibilities

If an employee fails to meet their responsibilities in the workplace, they may face a number of consequences or sanctions. These may include:

• The employee may be re-trained in order to improve their standard of work.

• The employee may be given a verbal warning by the employer to state that they are unhappy with a particular behaviour/incident and warn that it shouldn’t happen again.

• The employee may be given a written warning so that they fully understand that they haven’t met their responsibilities.

• The employee may be dismissed from their job and thus will have to look for alternative work.
