In this video I explain in detail what a verbal written warning is and when I recommend it be used (or not used). I explain the difference between an informal reprimand and a verbal written warning and my recommendations to avoid misunderstandings. As I usually do I include some other information such as why formalities are not always better, when not to use a final written warning, what progressive discipline is and why I don't necessarily recommend using a verbal written warning.
