Disciplining & dismissing for poor performance checklist

1.  Have you got evidence of the required standards of performance and of where the employee has failed to meet these standards? 
 
2.  Has the employee had the standards explained to them at an informal meeting where any reasons for the poor performance were also investigated?
 
3.  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.
