Improving Performance Sample Clauses

Improving Performance. A. Improving the deficient performance of employees is in the best interests of the individual employee and promotes the efficiency and effectiveness of the Agency. The objective of the improvement process is to eliminate deficiencies in an employee’s performance. This process is intended to be corrective in nature, not punitive. B. This process is not intended to address misconduct or remediation matters (e.g., habitual tardiness). Such matters should be dealt with under Article 45: Disciplinary Actions and/or Article 46: Adverse Actions. C.

An Unacceptable proficiency rating may not be given to an employee prior to the employee having completed the EPP.
