Question regarding corrective action

Published

I submitted my resignation my last day was the 21st of January

My ex manager wants to put me in corrective action for un excussed abscences.

However ptorocol reads after 6 un excused abscencess: First warning 

After 7 second warning and so on 

My question is that the policy does not specifically says verbal or written warning 

is that legal when they want me to sign a corrective action due to un excused abscences ?

 

this is so confusing, I m nt an employee there

Polocy says First warning does not specify how?

I am a ER nurse resigned after 17 years of employment due to management 

 

I not sure I understand this post. If you have already given notice and completed your final shift I don't see how you could possibly be put on a corrective action plan. 

Having said that if your previous manager is of the opinion that you violated attendance policies in the final period of you employment (maybe assuming there would be no possible consequence) there is nothing to stop them putting a record of that in your HR file the same way as if you were still an employee. That way it is recorded for rehire status or if your new job is within the same hospital or group it may carry to you next unit. 

If it's truly a mistake and you didn't rack up unexcused absence or were at least only due a warning I'd probably call HR and see if you can get it cleared up. You never know when you may want (have to) re apply.

 

thank you 

I missed my last day of work, I don't work for that hospital or manager anymore.

I had to resign due to manager's demands towards my work which made my last three months unbearable.

If she has to follow up hospital's policy so be it 

 

thank you

One charming facility I worked at had a policy that zero leave was authorized during the period of your notice. If you had leave already book it had to be cancelled or your "notice" period had to start in full after the leave, you couldn't work it on either side of the leave and you couldn't call out sick. I can tell you I saw them waive it when they wanted to. It was just one more petty/ toxic policy.

Wait. you gave them 3 months notice and they are playing these kind of games over 1 call out... ridiculous. Enjoy your new job!

Well, I can see why you left. That's absurd.  How can they possibly expect you to come in and sign a corrective action for an absence on your last day of work? What part of you don't work for them anymore doesn't that manager understand?

It is unfortunate that leaders are not supportive of staff, it is frustrating that managers use the  company phrase "The grass is not greener on the other side" as an excuse.

Managers neead to create initiatives to improve nurses work environment, nurses' education and nurses well being.
