The Legal Risk Score of a Performance Management Policy Template is Low
Our legal team have marked this document as low risk considering:
- There is a risk that the document’s reliance on supervisors and managers to fairly interpret and apply performance standards could lead to inconsistencies in handling unsatisfactory performance across different departments or teams.
- The document outlines a structured process for managing performance that requires meticulous documentation and follow-up, which could be burdensome for smaller organizations or those without a dedicated human resources department.
- The policy's emphasis on procedural fairness and natural justice, while protective of employee rights, may prolong the resolution process, potentially impacting organizational efficiency if not managed effectively.
