Dear John,

It has been noted that over the past six months you have been absent due to illness for more than thirty business days.

At XYZ Corporation we would like to be as considerate and understanding as possible when it comes to absenteeism due to ill health. However, we feel that excessive absence without explanation is not good for morale and may ultimately lead to dissatisfaction both for you and your manager.

If there is a medical situation/condition that has been the cause, please discuss this with me so that we can work out a mutually beneficial work schedule. All such discussions will be done in strictest confidence.

Unless I hear otherwise from you, I expect your attendance record will improve significantly.

Sincerely,

[Signature]

A. N. Other
Human Resources Director
