A plan of assistance typically includes a statement describing the deficiencies to clearly identify the problem areas, a timeline for when improvements should be apparent to provide a clear timeframe for correction, employee actions required to correct the deficiencies to offer a clear path for improvement, and a description of potential consequences resulting from the deficiencies to underline the seriousness of the situation and motivate change. A formal date for termination if improvements are not apparent is usually considered a last resort and may not be included in the initial plan of assistance, as the focus is on improvement and correction.
