The manager should be asking the employee why the milestone dates are being missed and then working with the employee to alleviate any issues that are identified. If it is determined that there are no external issues that are causing the employee to miss milestone dates, then the manager should look at reassigning the employee to a job where they can be successful or possible dismissal.

The HR Department should keep a copy of the Employee Report along with any other employee information in the employee’s personnel file. The Employee Report will show that the employee fully understands and agrees with his or her assigned Objectives, Strategies and deadlines for completion and will also document how the employee has performed against these agreed upon items.
