Written Warning Served without your Signature

Hi

i hope you guys can help me gather idea for legal purposes. i was served a first written warning with out a chance to explain (NTE). the document was presented to me as a written warning already and i declined to sign it cause i believed that the information stated in the document is not valid and the process serving the said sanction was not followed properly.

after disputing it to the management, the manager had the document revised which i declined, as i am intend to dispute what happened.

Now, the revised written warning took effect without my knowledge and it caused me to be ineligible for my previous months incentive also held me ineligible for a promotion for 6 months. My current supervisor tried to dispute it as it was never presented to me, the supervisor who raised the concern claimed that she pulled me out to discuss the revised written warning and i declined to sign it. None of those happened. i have no knowledge of the content of the revised written warning even the date when it took effect.

After my supervisor dispute it with the Human resources and the management they are firm with the decision about this sanction.


I am confused and demotivated of what happened. any legal advised and idea will much appreciated.

Thank you

no need for an NTE if it is merely a warning. a warning is only there to serve as a reminder of company rules and policies so you wont violate them.

so with that the company can give written warnings and it can progress or take effect even without the employees signature?

yes, kaya lang pinapa sign sayo para to confirm that you have been warned. this confirmation can be done thru witnesses, email registered mail etc. kaya yung hindi pag sign ng warning is pure stupidity. if you disagree with something, isulat mo dun na "received but don't agree"
kasi yung hindi pag sign can be used as evidence of antagonist tendencies

a company does not need to give you warnings, it can proceed straight to sanctions. warnings are more of pinag pasensyahan ka this time pero wag mo na ulitin.
