Expired warnings?

Hi
We have an employee who was given a verbal warning in June for poor attendance (12 months expiry stated)
We have now issued them a written warning for poor attendance (12 months expiry again)

What happens once the verbal June warning expires? Does the written then revert to a verbal?
Would a subsequent warning then be another first written warning (even though there is a first written on file?)
Thanks

    My experience was that a warning expires as stated in the warning (12 months in your case) if no other issues.
    If another issue arises within the 12 month that again leads to a warning, it is the expiry of the most recent warning that takes precedence.

    So in your case both warning stay in place until April 2020.

    To me the logical meaning of the system would be "if you don't reoffend your warning expires in 12 months". - but if they have reoffended then the new expiry date applies to both.

    Just out of interest what is "poor attendance" are we talking one instance of not showing up or a prolonged bout on multiple occasions?
