Query Letter to Employee for Lateness to Work (Sample #2)
Dear [Employee's name],
It came to our attention that you have been repeatedly coming late to office without a valid reason or approval. We would like to inform you that this behavior is considered a misconduct and is strictly against the company's policies.
If you need to be late to office then you should inform your direct manager ahead of time and provide a conceivable reason for doing so. If it's an emergency, then you may call and inform but it is hardly the case here given the frequency of the offences.
This information has already been conveyed to you verbally with no improvement from your end. Consider this letter as an official warning. We expect you to adjust your attendance as per your duty timings and show immediate progress.
Looking forward to some great news from your manager.
Best Regards,
The Human Resources Department.
