An employee was told that he will receive a warning because of not doing something that could have possibly made the company a few extra rands.
The incident took place in October 2016 and it was just said the he will have to sign the warning. 5 months later the warning was issued to him and requested that he signs it. The warning in question is also of a dodgy nature because it's also all speculation and he is feeling victimized as the manager is trying to get him fired.
Are there any limitations or any cutoff periods with regards to issuing the warning ?
The limitations on warnings are as follows. A written warning will remain valid for 3 to 6 months, final written warnings will remain valid for 12 months. The employer may issue a warning to the employee as a form of disciplinary action. The employer may issue a warring at any time if an offence has been made. The employer will use this form of disciplinary action if the standards of conduct set out by the company have not been met.
