In HR's Case, Believe Everything You Read: The importance of documentation.

Supervisor 1: “Last week I had to reprimand an employee for abusing his 15 minute rest period. Then yesterday, that same employee was 30 minutes late returning from lunch. And this morning, he has shown up or called or anything. So I called him and fired him. He told me he was going to suit me because I had never written him up.”
Supervisor 2: “His not right is he, you did document it in his file, right?
Supervisor 1: “File, why would I need to document it in his file, he knows what he did and I do too. I don’t have to write down everything, I can remember and besides, what can he do about?
Learn how to ensure that supervisors, managers and even you aren’t cutting off your nose to spite your face, with no documentation.

Choose Your Weapon: The Employee Handbook
:
Have you ever heard the saying, “if it’s not written down anywhere you can’t be held accountable to it? That might be exactly right, but what I bet you didn’t know is that you can’t hold anyone else accountable either. Employers find themselves in precarious situations more than they should simply because they didn’t want to put a policy in book, because they didn’t want to have the policy written. They wanted to pick and choose and use “subjective reasoning” when making decisions and concessions. But oh boy, the trouble it can cause. Find out how to make your employee handbook work for you and defend you like a weapon.
