Document background
An Unsatisfactory Performance Dismissal Letter For Poor Performance is used when an employer needs to terminate employment due to persistent underperformance, following appropriate performance management processes under English and Welsh law. The document should only be issued after implementing performance improvement plans, conducting regular reviews, and providing adequate support and training opportunities. It forms part of the formal documentation required for a fair dismissal, protecting both employer and employee rights under UK employment legislation. The letter must demonstrate that the dismissal decision was reasonable and followed proper procedures to minimize the risk of unfair dismissal claims.
