Managing Non-Performers —Fioernza

The employer should be able to establish that the standard has been consistently applied with regard to all employees. In other words, no employee should be “singled out.”

The employee should have received the same training in meeting the company standard that other employees received.

The employer should be able to establish that the employee was aware that failure to meet the company standard would mean loss of his or her job. A warning notice which tells the employee that this is his/her “last chance” to salvage his/her employment is a good way of proving this.
