Hi,
I'm trying to help someone gather their facts about an unfair dismissal. I searched for information about this and couldn't find anything exact for Ireland.
1) If a written warning has no time period on it, what is the general accepted timeframe of validity - 3/6/12 months?
2) If there is a second and subsequent written warning should these be for the same type of issue?
******
From Google in South Africa (not Ireland):
c) Must consecutive warnings always be for the same offence?
For warnings to be consecutive, i.e. a first, second and final warning with each following from the prior warning, the warnings should be of a similar nature. In other words, warnings relating to time keeping offences would run consecutively, warnings relating to quality of work would run consecutively, etc. If an employee is on a final warning for time keeping but commits an offence relating to quality of work, then the final warning will have no bearing on the offence relating to quality of work.
