Common use of Substandard Performance Clause in Contracts

Substandard Performance. 15.1 For the purposes of this Clause, the performance of an employee is substandard if the employee does not, in the performance of the functions that he or she is required to perform, attain or sustain a standard that a person may reasonably be expected to attain or sustain in the performance of his or her duties. No employee shall be subject to the penalties of clause 15.3 unless a fair procedure is applied and decisions and processes incorporate the principles of natural justice and are free from bias. If, in accordance with the College’s substandard performance management policy, an employee is found by the College to be performing at a substandard level, the College may: withhold an increment of remuneration otherwise payable to that employee; reduce the classification of that employee; or terminate the employment of that employee. If an employee who has been subject to substandard performance management is aggrieved by any resulting decision, he/she may appeal against that decision in the WAIRC.
