Performance evaluations, instances of employee misconduct, and issues should be documented. In case of an underperforming employee or inappropriate workplace conduct, employers must have a written record of the incident to avoid future disputes and to maintain a historical account of the issue. The record can be utilized to identify patterns of unacceptable behavior and decrease misinterpretations down the line. Our team can help with training on effective documentation to help employers maintain precise records which can act as a positive legal defense.
Occasionally, an employee’s poor performance or other justified business reasons may lead to dismissal. Employers should take precautions to avoid accusations of unfair dismissal. This involves reviewing an employee’s performance assessments and records as well as their adherence to company rules. Employers might want to offer verbal counseling, training, or verbal and written warnings, as needed, prior to dismissal. We assist employers to navigate the dismissal process, which includes crafting severance agreements, waiving potential claims, and ensuring employers are equipped for any challenges or queries that may arise during and after the termination, guaranteeing legal obligations are met.
