How to process a termination for poor performance in Australia?

If an employee’s performance is lacking, it's important to follow a formal process before considering dismissal. Begin by issuing a warning letter that outlines the issues. You may also initiate a Performance Improvement Plan (PIP), typically lasting a month, to give the employee a chance to improve.

If there is still no improvement after the PIP period, you can begin the formal dismissal procedure by connecting with Horizons for support. This ensures that the process is fair and documented, protecting both the employer and employee.
