Code 214

Corrective action is not necessarily the first step leading toward dismissal of an employee; however, if problems are not corrected, dismissal may become the end result. Corrective action is intended as a way of recognizing and dealing with problems that might, if unresolved, seriously interfere with an employee’s performance and effectiveness. Corrective action refers to the status of an employee at SEDC who has been advised by the director or Executive Board that his/her job performance is inadequate.

Deficiencies and remediation:

An employee whose performance is inadequate or in need of improvement shall be provided in writing documentation that clearly identifies his or her deficiencies, and a recommended course of action that will improve their performance. The director shall provide the employee with reasonable assistance to improve his/her performance, but ultimately it is employee responsibility to improve their job performance in the areas identified.
