Question

Jared, a supervisor, is discussing an employee with Evan, a human resource manager. Jared explains that the employee’s performance has not met company standards for two years. After assisting her and discussing the problem with her, Jared has concluded that the employee can do the work, she just doesn’t want to bother. What should Evan advise Jared to do?

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Based on the scenario being described within the question it can be said that Evan should advise Jared to withhold the employee's raise, and if the employee does not respond, then her employment should be immediately terminated. This is because the employee is being paid to do certain tasks which she is capable of doing. Neglecting this responsibility must be met with an immediate termination of the employment.

Answer 2

Answer:

B) Jared should withhold a raise, and if the employee does not respond, then her employment should be terminated.

Explanation:

Companies are not required by law to give raises, it all depends on the company´s policy.

So withholding a raise is an indirect form of punishing an employee for bad performance, as long as you can show your actions were impartial. If the employee doesn´t like the situation all she can do is quit the job.

That way the employee will know that management isn't happy with her performance and that she should do something about it. If she continues to perform poorly at her job then she must be fired.
