The intent of the Commitment Discussion is to inform the employee that his/her performance or behavior still has not improved after receiving a letter of Verbal Support and a Performance Improvement letter, and now it has reached a very serious state. The Commitment discussion can take place without a record of prior discipline if a major infraction has occurred.
The decision to issue a letter as a result of a Commitment Discussion is solely the responsibility of the Office of Human Resources on the basis of recommendations from supervisors.
Before conduction the meeting the manager should complete the Formal Meeting Checklist. At the end of the meeting the employee is told he/she will be issued a Commitment Discussion Letter, at this time the manager should also complete the Post Meeting Worksheet.
