The Capability Procedure is used by businesses to manage the performance of their employees. Poor performance effects almost every business, yet many choose to either ignore the issues or deal with them solely via the disciplinary route. Having a capability procedure in place not only protects your business against poor performance, but sends a message to employees that you are prepared to deal formally with performance issues as well as being supportive at the same time. There is a separate policy for managing misconduct that can be found here.

Failure to follow reasonable procedures when dealing with performance matters could put your business at risk from being sued. This policy sets out a clear way in which these matters can be dealt with in your business.

This Capability Procedure is comprehensive, yet written in plain English to ensure understanding by all parties. It covers all the necessary points to ensure compliance with current employment law:

- Introduction and Purpose

- Confidentiality 

- Performance in relation to a disability

- Stages of Capability Procedure

- Possible Action and Outcomes

- Placeholders for names of key people in the business who operate the policy

This policy refers to the disciplinary procedure and appeals procedure.

In order to operate this policy, there are a number of letters that must be sent to the employee. We are able to offer a pack containing all the relevant documentation for just £4.95. Click here to view this pack.
