Do I have the authority to tell an employee that his or her performance is unacceptable?
Yes. More than that, as the employee's supervisor and "rating
official," it should be your goal to keep an employee informed about
your assessment of his or her performance, particularly when that
assessment is negative. Within your agency, there may be a policy or
practice you must follow when you notify an employee that his or her
performance has become unacceptable. You should contact your human
resources office for further information.
