Is it either at the moment?
Or is it rather a manager sitting down with them and being very explicit on a number of issues that they are unhappy with and laying out the areas for improvement plus what ever support they are going to put in place. If they then don't improve it might switch to your formal policy (almost certainly conduct)
Who ever signs off the expenses doesnt have to..
How long has this person worked for you

Hi KeithIn reply to Elizabeth Frank:
The manager doesn't need to 'speak' to them. You've already said thats happened before and nothing changed. The manager appears in need of clear instructions on how to give clear unambiguous targets to his subordinate. IE. "List Jeffery, about the accounts business. I'm making it clear that if you go over your expenses without prior agreement from me then I will consider it a disability matter". Telling someone they are not happy with something isn't the same!!Visit the main CIPD website
