This Termination Due To Poor Performance document is essential for Philippine employers seeking to legally terminate an employee based on documented performance issues. It must comply with the Philippine Labor Code's requirements for just cause termination, particularly Article 297 (formerly Article 282) which recognizes gross and habitual neglect of duties as valid grounds for termination. The document is used after performance improvement plans have failed and when the employer has sufficient documentation of poor performance. It must demonstrate compliance with the two-notice rule: first notice detailing the grounds for termination with opportunity for explanation, and second notice declaring the final decision. The document includes comprehensive performance history, previous warnings, improvement opportunities provided, and specific instances of performance deficiencies to establish valid grounds for termination under Philippine law.
