Add Comment Question: How often must an employer notify an employee they are unhappy with the perfomance Answer: Hi. My name is Stephen Gillman and I am an employment lawyer. In answer to your question it is important to formally notify an employee when they are not performing up to standard. In addition, it is important to provide the employee with a benchmark in which to assess their performance and assistance in order to improve their performance. I would be happy to discuss the above in more detail and provide you with some further information regarding how to notify an employee when their performance is sub standard.
