Sec. 432.104  Addressing unacceptable performance.

    At any time during the performance appraisal cycle that an 
employee's performance is determined to be unacceptable in one or more 
critical elements, the agency shall notify the employee of the critical 
element(s) for which performance is unacceptable and inform the employee 
of the performance requirement(s) or standard(s) that must be attained 
in order to demonstrate acceptable performance in his or her position. 
The agency should also inform the employee that unless his or her 
performance in the critical element(s) improves to and is sustained at 
an acceptable level, the employee may be reduced in grade or removed. 
For each critical element in which the employee's performance is 
unacceptable, the agency shall afford the employee a reasonable 
opportunity to demonstrate acceptable performance, commensurate with the 
duties and responsibilities of the employee's position. As part of the 
employee's opportunity to demonstrate acceptable performance, the agency 
shall offer assistance to the employee in improving unacceptable 
performance.
