The Letter of Dismissal for Poor Performance is a crucial document in Pakistani employment law that formalizes the termination of an employment relationship due to unsatisfactory performance. It should be used when an employee has consistently failed to meet job requirements despite previous warnings and opportunities for improvement. The document must be carefully drafted to ensure compliance with Pakistani labor laws, particularly the Industrial and Commercial Employment (Standing Orders) Ordinance 1968, which requires employers to show just cause for termination. The letter should include detailed references to performance issues, previous warnings, improvement plans provided, notice period or payment in lieu of notice, and final settlement terms. This documentation is essential for defending against potential wrongful termination claims and ensuring a legally sound dismissal process.
