Is my write up valid?

Question

I was written up I signed the form but was not present to see the manager sign and there wasn't a second manager to witness and sign the form.

Brad S Kane · Answer

Yes. A write up is valid without a second manager to witness and sign. The second manager is often used to corroborate what happened when the write up was presented.

Neil Pedersen · Answer

There are no legal rules about how an employer must write up an employee.  They can have anyone present it to you, and it can come in any form of communication.  No signatures of someone at the company are required. 
 
It sounds like you might be describing certain requirements set forth in a union collective bargaining agreement.  If so, talk to your union rep. 
 
Good luck to you.

The validity of a write-up can depend on various factors, including company policies and procedures. Generally, a write-up is considered valid if the employee was given notice of the write-up, provided an opportunity to respond or dispute the allegations, and given a copy of the write-up. However, if there were no witnesses or signatures on the write-up form, it could potentially be called into question in the future. 
 
If you have concerns about the validity of the write-up, you may want to review your company's policies and procedures regarding disciplinary actions and consider discussing the matter with HR or a supervisor. They may be able to provide more information on the company's procedures and how to dispute or appeal the write-up. It is also important to keep in mind any deadlines for disputing the write-up and to gather any relevant evidence or documentation to support your case.
