According to the information given, there is no evidence that Caileen's manager has documented any instances of Caileen being told that coming in late on Mondays is a problem. Without documentation, it may be difficult to argue that Caileen was aware of the consequences of her tardiness. Therefore, the discipline may be ineffective and potentially unfair. Documenting disciplinary actions is a crucial component of effective discipline in order to avoid miscommunication or misunderstandings between the employer and employee.
