Performance Evaluations

 
Evaluating the performance of an employee should help them improve in their work or it should lay the groundwork for dismissal if they are not up for the job. Annual reviews should be standard practice in evaluating employee performance. The first step in a performance evaluation should be identifying the performance standards. Prior to an evaluation the employee should know what their goals are and what the objectives are that will determine if those goals are being met.

In this 6-minute video our speaker, Calvin R. House, Esq., reviews guidelines to use for a performance improvement plan. If you have an employee that is not performing up to the standards that have been set you need to determine why that is happening and make a plan for improvement. The employee should also be monitored for progress once the plan has been established. Mr. House also discusses progressive discipline and the importance of fairness and offering the employee a chance to explain the problem and an opportunity to improve. He also reviews the need to impose a penalty commensurate with the violation.

Calvin R. House, Esq. is a partner in the Pasadena, California law firm of Gutierrez, Preciado & House, LLP, where he defends and counsels employers on employment law matters. He has tried scores of employment cases to federal and state juries and judges, and administrative tribunals. Mr. House conducts regular seminars and workshops on such employment law topics, as wage and hour requirements, mandatory leave statutes, reasonable accommodation of disabilities, discrimination, harassment and wrongful termination.
