If you are in Australia refer to the new Industrial Relations Laws, you only have five to read now, no the boss does not have to issue written notices any more - you should keep a written record of all that is said and try to include dates and times - as should the boss for his/her reference. Having a witness was a right but I think even that is now out the door.
And in agreement with the poster who stated that if the boss is having to reprimand so often then it is the boss who is at fault, if there were proper induction programs and on going up date training this should not be happening.
