How Do You Handle a Corrective Action Plan and Termination in Software Companies?

Dear All,

One of the engineers is not able to perform, and we need to make some hard decisions. Therefore, we are going to put him on a CAP (Corrective Action Plan), which will be a plan for a month where he needs to achieve certain goals. If he is not able to, then we have to let him go. This is unfortunate but has to be done sometimes.

I would like to find out what should be the ideal CAP put for the employee. I have never dealt with this before, but I know this is the process followed by a lot of software companies.

Also, let me know the detailed termination process involved in software companies in India.

Thanks,
SS

Hi,

Once an ideal CAP is put on, you may give me a period of one or two months. Even if, during this period, his/her performance is not satisfactory, you may bid him/her goodbye. However, every notice given to him/her must be in writing and must be accepted by him/her.
