6. STEP-BY-STEP EXECUTION GUIDE

• Evidence Collection: Prior to the formal meeting, the supervisor must aggregate objective data (emails, audit logs, project management tickets) that verify the accountability narrative. Subjective claims without documentation are insufficient for formal performance records.
• Review and Rebuttal: Provide the Employee with the document at least 24 hours prior to the signing meeting. If the Employee disputes the findings, append a "Statement of Disagreement" signed by both parties to this document rather than modifying the original record.
• Execution and Filing: Both parties must sign in ink or via a legally compliant e-signature platform. Upload the finalized PDF to the Employee’s personnel file within 48 hours of execution.
• Enforcement: This document acts as the baseline for future performance monitoring. If performance criteria are not met in the subsequent period, this document serves as the primary exhibit for PIP (Performance Improvement Plan) initiation.
