Managers

Employee Relations

In keeping with the sixth Merit System Principle found at 5 U.S.C.  § 2301, managers are responsible for monitoring employee performance and conduct.

"Employees should be retained on the basis of the adequacy of their performance, inadequate performance should be corrected, and employees should be separated who cannot or will not improve their performance to meet required standards."

To assist and advise you in addressing and resolving performance and conduct issues, your servicing human resource office is available. Managers should contact their employee relations specialist as soon as possible when problems or questions arise. Below are tools and information to assist you.
