Daytona Beach Employee Evaluation Lawyer

Attorney

At some point, most employees suffer a serious personal situation or condition that impairs their job performance. Fortunately for employers, these situations are usually temporary, and a once-productive worker can be a once-again-productive employee without significantly disrupting your business. But for some people, deeper personal issues cause long-term issues. A once-productive employee may underperform, behave inappropriately, or become unreliable.

When your employee’s problem becomes your problem, there are several measures you can take. If you need legal advice about – or legal assistance dealing with – an employment issue, contact experienced Daytona Beach business lawyer Lankford at the Lankford Law Firm.

DOCUMENTATION IS IMPERATIVE

Stay alert to signs of worker problems. Document any performance problem. If the problem becomes legal, you’ll need that documentation. Meet with the employee. Offer specific examples of performance problems. When you learn more, you may be able to arrange or suggest a simple solution. But focus only on the job and the facts. You care about your employees, but they, in turn, are responsible for performing the work. Describe the exact consequences of poor performance, and explain precisely how performance must improve. Perhaps most importantly, refrain from any language that could remotely be considered derogatory, discriminatory, harassing, or legally binding.

If you suspect that a worker needs help with substance abuse or with a medical condition like depression, don’t offer personal advice; your good intentions could take you into questionable legal territory. In this type of situation, it is imperative that you seek legal counsel from an employee evaluation lawyer. Attorney Lankford has extensive experience managing these delicate scenarios.

In addition to dealing with employee matters, our law firm can also help with other cases, including allegations of wrongful termination, employee contracts and contract disputes, workers’ compensation cases, overtime and wage issues, and beyond.
