Make
sure your company has clear
policies about discipline and
termination. You have to clearly
communicate to employees in
writing and be sure to include
them in an employee handbook.
For example, sexual harassment,
theft, drug possession, absenteeism
and so on.
If an employee is simply underperforming,
be clear about the company expectations.
Make sure your employees know
and understand the performance
standards they must meet. Employers
should use regular, written
reviews for employees to do
this. Your employees must recognize
through our actions as a employer
that you offer guidance, education,
and support first; and disciplinary
action as the final step in
the process of improving employees
performance.
You have to create a warnings
policy process. Make sure all
warnings are written and maintained
in the employee's file. It is
important to let employees clearly
know what's expected of them
and to put them on notice about
the consequences of not meeting
those expectations. Ensure the
substandard performance history
is always well documented.
