If an employee fails to achieve the expected standards of performance for their post, this shall result in the appointment being terminated, subject to notice or where appropriate, pay in lieu of notice.

1. Following the final review meeting including any period of extension between the manager, the employee and the HR person, a final report shall be compiled and sent to the Human Resources Department, with a recommendation that the appointment should be terminated. The employee will have the right to be represented at the meeting and will have the right to respond.

2. Reasons for such a decision must be clearly explained to the employee, put in writing and sent to the Human Resources Department before the end of the probation period or extended period.

3. A decision to dismiss would not normally be expected unless problems had been identified at an earlier stage and appropriate formal corrective action taken at that time.

4. Employees will be advised in writing that the appointment shall be terminated and inform them of their last date of service.
