Unsatisfactory Performance
The Department has a responsibility to ensure that high standards of conduct and performance are maintained throughout its workforce.
It is incumbent on managers, principals/or designated officers to act where a complaint, unsatisfactory performance or misconduct involving a staff member is observed or brought to her or his attention, whether or not a formal complaint has been lodged.
In determining the appropriate action the manager/principal/designated officer, subject to satisfying any legal or policy requirements, should use his or her professional judgement to decide whether the matter should be dealt with as a complaint, unsatisfactory performance or serious misconduct. The Department's Conduct and Ethics Branch provides advice and assistance on these matters.
Where the matter involves alleged serious misconduct or sexual harassment the Conduct and Ethics Branch must be contacted for advice regarding the appropriate course of action.
