Daniel was late again this morning. That's the fourth time this month. Can I move to a written warning?
Yes — based on Daniel's record you can issue a first written warning. Three lateness incidents already sit on file from the last 90 days and your handbook treats four as the threshold.
Suggested action
Recommended next step
Hold an investigatory meeting before formalising. I've drafted an invite letter and a script for the conversation.
What's our legal exposure if Daniel pushes back?
Low, given the documented prior conversations. Under UK ACAS guidance you've followed the right informal steps. The main risk is procedural — I'll walk you through the meeting so nothing gets missed.

Most small businesses manage HR the same way

It works. Until it doesn't. When something goes wrong, you need to act quickly, correctly, and with confidence — not start from scratch.

When something happens, the best thing you can do is talk it through. Describe the situation in plain English and Terio guides you, step by step. No menus. No jargon. No training.

Blessing has called in sick four times this month. What should I do?
That's a Bradford Factor score of 256 — above your 200 threshold. This is the right moment for a return-to-work conversation, not a disciplinary.

Three of the four absences fell on a Friday or Monday. Worth raising gently — it could be a wellbeing signal, a caring responsibility, or something we can support around.

Screens shown are illustrative. Actual product may vary.

Most HR systems stop at data. Terio helps you decide.

Storing your people information and surfacing reports is useful. But it doesn't tell you what to do when Blessing has had four absences this month, or whether you can move to a written warning with Daniel.
