Verbal Warnings

Athanasius

Hi,

Does anybody know what the story is regarding the possibility of promotion while a six month verbal warning is in force? Is it out of the question for that period?

The two would seem to be contradictory, one warns you about poor performance, the other rewards you for good performance.

Depends on the company, there are no laws or rules around this.

Some companies have standard procedures which require that a verbal warning is issued after an incident, regardless of the overall employee performance, or whether their manager cares about it.

And again, companies may have formal procedures for promotion where they review things like warnings. Other companies might promote people based on a simple thumbs-up from the person with authority.

If you think you're qualified, go for it.

In general people on warnings or any active disciplinary process would automatically be discounted from opportunities within a company.

One company I worked in required a 12 month period following any issues.

Company procedure or practice may dictate the decision.

In more flexible/informal settings the subject of the warning would be important.

In my opinion it's also going to depend on what the warning was for. For example if you've had a few absences in a short space of time company policy might dictate a warning even though you've documented your absences. The company may know the absences were genuine and out of character and could still allow for a promotion.

If however it's for poor behaviour/performance then I'm gonna say no chance.
