Warning Letter to Employee for Wilful Insubordination

Insubordination simply means refusal to obey orders. If an employee does not follow the orders or instructions given by his senior officer, the employer will not appreciate such misconduct.

Most of the time a warning message will be given to you in writing for such a misbehavior towards your boss. Some companies may not be so tolerant, they may fire you from your job immediately, if your misconduct was severe.

It would be in the best interest of the employee to follow the orders of the superior. However, if the employee has any suggestions for working in a different way rather than the way ordered by the boss, he should discuss the same with his boss.

Format of such warning letter to employee for insubordination or misconduct is given hereunder for your reference.
