Maybe I should clarify the signing part. The question was not whether to sign it if s/he wanted to or not, to show acknowledgement, the question was:
Does an employer HAVE to notify the employee of the write-up, which in turn will make the employee acknowledge that s/he has infact been written up with a signature, or can an employer just tell the employee that s/he has been written up and leave it at that?
Also, of course anybody would want a copy of their write-up, however, are they entitled to it? Or does the employer have exclusive rights to the write-up as far as giving out copies of the actual write-up? There is nothing in the employee handbook that gives the company's procedures on write-ups.
Please reply with facts only. Thanks.
