Dear [Employee's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to inform you that a serious incident occurred on [Date] at our workplace, involving a physical altercation between you and another employee. This incident has been thoroughly investigated by our team, and the findings have led us to take the necessary actions to maintain a safe and respectful working environment. At our company, we prioritize the safety, welfare, and professional conduct of our employees. Physical altercations are strictly prohibited, as they not only jeopardize the well-being of individuals involved but also create an uncomfortable and unproductive atmosphere for everyone else. Unfortunately, your involvement in such an incident has greatly violated the workplace policies and the code of conduct that we hold dear. After careful consideration of the circumstances of the altercation, it has been determined that your actions during this incident were in direct violation of our policies. As a result, we have decided to suspend you from your position without pay for a specific duration. This suspension will commence on [Start Date] and conclude on [End Date]. During this period, you are expected to reflect on your behavior and take necessary steps towards self-improvement. Please note that this suspension is meant to serve as a corrective measure and an opportunity for you to reassess your actions. It should not be seen as a form of punishment but rather as a change to amend your behavior and demonstrate your commitment to our company's values. We trust that you will make the best use of this time to gain a deeper understanding of the consequences that flow from physical altercations. In addition to the suspension, we require you to attend a mandatory counseling session with our Human Resources department. This session aims to assess the underlying causes of the altercation and provide guidance on conflict resolution strategies. By participating in this counseling, we hope to help you develop effective communication and conflict management skills, essential for a harmonious work environment. Failure to comply with the established suspension period or refusal to attend the counseling session will result in further disciplinary action, potentially leading to termination of employment. It is our sincere hope that you understand the severity of the situation and make the necessary efforts to rectify your behavior. We understand that people make mistakes, and we firmly believe in providing our employees with opportunities for growth and improvement. We genuinely hope that you will take this situation seriously, learn from it, and emerge as a better colleague, both professionally and personally. If you have any questions or concerns regarding the suspension or required counseling session, please do not hesitate to reach out to your immediate supervisor or the Human Resources department. We are here to support you through this process and ensure a smooth reintegration into the workplace once the period of suspension is over. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Job Title] [Company Name]
