Suggested steps for developing a performance improvement plan For more information on managing underperformance, see our online learning courses at www.fairwork.gov.au/learning. For information about minimum employment rights and entitlements you can also call the Fair Work Infoline on 13 13 94 or visit www.fairwork.gov.au . Step 1: Plan Use the template to prepare a performance improvement plan for your employee. Begin by clearly identifying the specific area or areas in which the employee needs to improve their performance. Step 2: Meet with your employee Next, explain what your employee needs to do to improve their performance and how they can do this, along with what support you'll provide to them (eg. training). Also explain to them what their responsibilties are, and what your responsibilities are. Give your employee a reasonable time to improve their performance and set a date or dates for further review. Finally, explain what will happen if your employee's performance doesn't improve. Both you and your employee should sign and keep a copy of the plan.
