I believe that it has only ever been a courtesy. That is to say, I don't believe that procedure is prescribed as such in law. I stand to be corrected, but that is my understanding.
Just for example, my new employer (a large one which I expect to be familiar with this) sets out in my contract the warning procedure as:
- First warning (verbal)
- Final warning (written)
- Dismissal
