Document background
The Letter of Reprimand for Unprofessional Behavior is a crucial human resource management tool used in Philippine workplaces when formal disciplinary action is required for employee misconduct that doesn't necessarily warrant immediate termination. This document type is governed by the Philippine Labor Code and must follow strict due process requirements, including proper documentation and fair hearing opportunities. It serves as an essential step in progressive discipline, creating a formal record of the incident and the organization's response. The letter typically follows verbal warnings or informal counseling and precedes more severe disciplinary actions. It must clearly outline the specific unprofessional behavior, reference relevant company policies, detail expected improvements, and specify consequences for non-compliance, all while maintaining compliance with Philippine labor laws and regulations.
