Opportunity to Improve Sample Clauses

Opportunity to Improve a. If at any time during the performance appraisal cycle, an employee's performance is determined to be “Unacceptable” in one or more critical elements, the employee's supervisor shall consult with HCTM prior to notifying the employee and annotating the Annual Evaluation Form (AEF) accordingly. The AEF must state the critical element(s) for which performance is “Unacceptable.” The supervisor shall then issue the employee a Performance Improvement Plan (PIP) that provides a reasonable opportunity [at least forty-five (45) calendar days] to demonstrate acceptable performance before any proposal to remove or demote is initiated. The PIP will identify the employee's specific performance deficiencies, the acceptable level of performance, the action(s) that must be taken by the employee to improve to the acceptable level of performance, and the assistance that the supervisor will provide, such as regular meetings, and/or training. The PIP will also inform the employee that performance must improve to and be sustained for one (1) year at an acceptable level. This one (1) year period begins at the start date of the PIP, and applies to the elements identified in the PIP. If the performance is not sustained, management may remove or demote the employee. b. Should all remedial action fail and the employee's performance is determined to be unacceptable, the supervisor will consult with HCTM for assistance to properly notify the employee in writing that he/she has failed to achieved an acceptable level of competence, and issue a rating of “Unacceptable” performance to the employee. The supervisor will then propose removal or demotion. c. At any time during the PIP period, the supervisor may conclude that the employee's performance has improved to the acceptable level, and the PIP may be terminated. The supervisor will notify the employee in writing that he/she has achieved an acceptable level of competence, terminate the PIP, and document the employee as performing at an acceptable level. The employee must maintain an acceptable levelof performance in the critical element(s) identified in the PIP for one (1) calendar year from the date the PIP was issued. After the one (1) calendar year, any entry or notation regarding “Unacceptable” performance will be removed from the employee's file.
