Performance that needs improvement or is otherwise unacceptable as documented in the annual evaluation shall result in a performance improvement plan and/or a corrective action or Letter of Expectation and a reasonable amount of time to improve unless the employee is already under performance improvement, corrective or disciplinary action for the same performance matter. If needs improvement or unacceptable performance relates to a recurring performance issue that has resulted in a prior corrective action or disciplinary action, the appointing authority may take disciplinary action concurrently with issuing the annual evaluation. The appointing authority may proceed immediately to disciplinary action, up to and including immediate termination, if the act is so flagrant or serious that immediate discipline is proper.听
