The Employee Corrective Action Form is a crucial document in New Zealand's employment framework, designed to facilitate fair and transparent performance management processes. This document should be used when formal documentation of performance issues or conduct concerns is necessary, typically following informal discussions or as part of a progressive discipline process. It ensures compliance with New Zealand employment legislation, particularly the Employment Relations Act 2000's requirements for good faith dealings and fair procedures. The form includes essential elements such as specific performance concerns, improvement expectations, support measures, and consequences, while maintaining appropriate documentation for potential future reference. It serves as both a corrective tool and a protective measure for all parties involved, ensuring clear communication and agreed-upon action plans for performance improvement.
