Hai,
Is it that much easy to relieve any employee who has been working 240 days in an organisation. Terminating from the services is not easy and not only the solution for any problem. You being HR guy find out the reasons for poor performance and do not come to conclusion by seeing unless you study in deep, if necessary call for counseling not only employee of the company and family of employee too. Suggest some alternatives for the problem.

Hi,
Instead of sending the employee out, try to understand the reason for not performing. over stress at work clubbed with the illness of spouse... one cannot be thrown out just like that without getting into root cause. HR should give the support to the suffering employee and to inform Management for appropriate action.

Hi Jyoti,
Not sure if you are from IT industry...if you are, then
Check on his performance feedback. If it has been good, then you can recommend that the employee can be given from work from home options. His reviews can happen on a weekly basis with his manager.
Your management needs to look this option with an open mind to retain people.

Well this point I wanted to highlight since a long time,, In my organisation there are some people who come to office daily late, some people who leave early from office daily.
Daily means daily,, and the reason is someone in their family is suffering from some illness and they need to take them to doctor almost daily.
Many times they need to take leave form office, take half day and so on.
Once my boss told one employee that why he was repeatedly comming late, that employee told that his spouse is sick from past 10 days, and he needs to prepare food at home and then come to office.
He even told my boss, that whatever action he wants to take he can take, and if the management cannot understand his reason, then they can take any action.
But my boss just had to be quiet and understandable,
look it is true that we work to earn, but when some of our loved ones are ill we cant concentrate on work properly. some people are such as they daily need to show their relative to some doctor for some illness. So they need to manage their work and doctors appointment and all.
Here as a HR you dont need to represent your company policy to the employee, if you do represent your company and state its policies to employee, that would not at all be in interest of humanity.
You need to think about the employees condition also, even tomorrow if the same condition applies to you and you are asked to leave the job how will you feel. Sometimes you need to forget about the company.
You are just an employee of the company even thought you are in HR, dont ever think you are the company, because the company can always stop loving you at any time.
So break the rules if needed, and give some relaxation of rules to such persons.. but first verify whether he is speaking truth or not and keep the relaxation only between you and him / her.
Thanks and Regards

Hi all
wonderfully said my frend. it is the harsh reality which every of us are facing. Everyday, one or the other employee is coming late or going early due to family illness.
In these kind of cases, we should be bit more sympathetic, if the reason is genuine. At any cost, the employee should not be terminated. Even if his performance is suffering due to this, he should be given flexibility to work till the time the company doesnt suffer any major losses. e.g. allow the employee to come late on alternate days and ask him to stay a bit late rest of the days.
We should take a rationale view of this because you never know when can such situation come to us.
One thing to keep in mind is that if the employee is habitual offender, then it is the duty of HR dept. to check the authenticity of the case.
