Verbal Warning, not completly my fault

I have been informed that I am to receive a verbal warning. I am currently on a 12month contract that if renewed will gurantee fulltime. I am close to the end of my first 12months.

An incident accured in that goods received were not as per paper work. As I received the goods and never checked the label on the actual goods it is I who is responsible.

There could have been a saftey risk from this if the goods were used.

I have gone through procedures and I have verified that it just says check that goods received are as ordered.

The goods are labeled and I should have spotted it but I was distracted by other work duties

Anyone shed some light as to wheather a warning is just that or is it leverage for not renewing a contract

Re: Verbal Warning, not com

It depends on contracts, handbooks, H&S procedures, the nature of the goods etc. Basically it's too general to say for sure but I don't think it's anything more than just a warning. If your other work is good and you get on with other staff, have good time keeping etc you should be fine.
