WORK IMPROVEMENT PLANS Sample Clauses
A Work Improvement Plan clause outlines the procedures and expectations for addressing an employee's performance deficiencies. Typically, it requires the employer to formally notify the employee of specific areas needing improvement and to provide a structured plan, including measurable goals and a timeline for progress. This clause serves to give employees a clear opportunity to correct their performance issues before further disciplinary action is considered, promoting fairness and transparency in performance management.
WORK IMPROVEMENT PLANS. (a) The County may issue a work improvement plan where an employee’s performance or behavior is unsatisfactory. Work improvement plans in and of themselves are not considered disciplinary unless attached to a disciplinary action. Such work improvement plans shall include job description expectations; performance deficiencies; criteria or objectives and how they will be measured in order to complete the plan; and consequences and timelines if not completed successfully. Monthly reviews of the progress of the employee in satisfying the work improvement plan will be required. The County may issue a work improvement plan where an employee’s performance or behavior is unsatisfactory.
(b) Failure by the supervisor to conduct the stated periodic review will result in the plan becoming null and void for the purpose of imposing discipline for a failure to complete the work improvement plan. The supervisor may adjust the timing of the reviews provided that the intent of giving the employee updates on their progress is met. This provision does not prohibit the employer from imposing a new work plan.
(c) Work improvement plans shall have a specified duration not to exceed 180 days except in those cases where a department’s work is seasonal or where there are rotation cycles, and the performance issues are related to duties performed seasonally or on a rotation basis. In these cases, a work improvement plan may be extended to include review of work performed seasonally. However, in no event shall a work improvement plan exceed 365 days. When a work improvement plan is imposed, Human Resources and the union or designee shall be notified of such action.
