Hi everyone,
I'm actually posting this on behalf of my girlfriend who is a aide who was newly off her probationary 90-day period. She had just come off a week of 12 hour shifts and had one final shift to finish off when she dozed off while watching a sleeping patient. Her performance evaluation which had just occured was exemplary and her manager had recommended her for a high tier raise and then this incident occured. She was written up and is worried that the HR will terminate her immediately. It sounds like the manager is willing to give her another chance but she is terrified that HR will just terminate her.
Will HR normally terminate on a first write up under these circumstances? Or will the managers input and her prior performance also be taken into account?
Thanks so much!
