Checklist for disciplining & dismissing for poor performance.
- Have you got evidence of the required standards of performance and of where the employee has failed to meet these standards?
- Has the employee had the standards explained to them at an informal meeting where any reasons for the poor performance were also investigated?
- Is it possible that the poor performance can be attributed to a medical condition? If so, it may not be appropriate to issue performance warnings and you should consider using a procedure for managing ill-health.
