I'm curious as to whether there is a statute of limitations for citing a previous incident when given a disciplinary warning in the workplace. I was given a warning in 2009 and then received a warning in 2014 (with no warnings in between). The 2009 incident was cited in the warning. Is this legal and/or fair to me as an employee? If the goal was to create a pattern, I see no pattern with a five year gap in between.
Answer
It shows your future potential for repeating infractions. If you have a contract, check it. If you are an at will employee, you are subject to discharge for anything.
