This easy-to-read pamphlet gives you an overview of both the supervisor's and the HR director's responsibilities in dealing with poor employee performance. You learn how to deal with probationers and other non-status employees, and how to handle adverse actions for performance failures under Chapter 75 — so you make legally sound decisions. Plus, you get solid guidance on how to: successfully draft performance standards for a Chapter 43 action, determine when to put an employee on a performance improvement plan, prepare supervisors to deal with the defenses and excuses offered by employees with performance problems, and more!
