Once the deadline for remedial action has been reached, assess the situation formally.
- If performance is still not at the required standard, more drastic steps will have to be implemented.
- Start a formal disciplinary process, which is independent from the action plan and performance counselling process.
- Make sure that meeting is thoroughly minuted and that you include observers.
- Ensure that the employee understand that a failure to meet performance objectives stated in the remedial action plan will lead to disciplinary action and possible dismissal for incapacity (poor performance).
