The Final Written Warning Letter is a crucial document in Nigerian employment practice, typically issued after previous verbal and/or written warnings have failed to achieve the desired improvement in employee conduct or performance. This document is used when an employee's behavior or performance has continued to fall below acceptable standards despite prior interventions. It represents the final step in the progressive disciplinary process before termination of employment. The letter must comply with Nigerian Labour Law requirements and typically includes detailed documentation of the misconduct or performance issues, references to previous warnings, specific expectations for improvement, and clear consequences of non-compliance. It serves both as a formal notification to the employee and as a legal document that may be relevant in potential future employment tribunal proceedings.
