Dismissing employee in probationary period....

Lisa

Hi all, 

First time that I need to do this, can anyone give generic advice as to how to approach this in the most delicate ways?

Well within probation but just really not working out. 

Many thanks in advance.

  • Be honest! That doesn't mean delicate. If the line manager has been managing them properly it should be obvious to the individual that they are struggling. If you laid the ground rules out clearly at the start (re your probationary terms), then it won't be a surprise when you have to say goodbye.

    But I don't see why YOU have to do it - that should be the line manager's job - after all he/she was the person who was responsible for them.
