We currently employee a full time trade assistant who is 67 this year and the issue we have is his work productivity as he isn't coping with the current workload. He has slowed his pace in the last year.
We have spoken to the employee suggesting maybe going parttime to try and ease the situation but he has refused. I have suggested that maybe it will have to be a performance review to monitor his productivity etc and issue warnings then terminate. We have another issue in that he doesn't speak english very well and only one other person can translate the information to him.
The bosses suggested redundancy but I have said no go as you would employ another TA straight away. The other thought was maybe offer a retirement package.
Is anyone aware of another way to resolve this situation? any thoughts would be appreciated..
