Is it okay to give an employee 2 written warnings on the same day, in the same meeting? I did not see them coming.
Also, both warnings were the first of all warnings- and were both written with signing. One was because I cried in a meeting and had a tough day and went home for emotional health reasons, and the other for a mistake that cost them money so I understand.
I just don't know if its fair to give 2 warnings at the same time. How many warnings are required?

Thank you for your question. My name is Jon Pinkus and I am an employment lawyer at Samfiru Tumarkin LLP. There is no strict rule about how many warnings are required, nor is there any rule against giving two written warnings on the same day. However, given that they were both given in the same day, it raises questions as to whether they were done in good faith.

Therefore, if your employment is terminated for cause, please contact me at jon.pinkus@stlawyers.ca, and I can discuss your situation in more detail.
