Not much to go on but I'll have a go. If weakness means lack of competence at doing the job you might have to look at extra training for them. Were they qualified to an acceptable level when you hired them? If that's a bit borderline then you have to review your procedure for vetting applicants to make sure it does not happen again. Possibly you have promoted the employee one step above their ability? Training is the key again, and give them a probabtionary period with an appraisal at the end. You might have to rethink their position if they are simply out of their depth. Weakness in time keeping, attendance, sickness? First two, mention it informally if they are otherwise good workers. If it doesn't improve go through the usual procedure of warnings (verbal, first written...and so on). Sickness, you might want to question them informally about some condition they may have before you get too heavy. Is it temporary? Will it be ongoing? Remember psychiatic issues can play a huge part in how people function. Ask if there's any problem they want to talk about (informally at first) that might be making it difficult for them to get to work, on time and stay focussed. If it's a question of trust you need to identify whether thay are deliberately going against company policy, or they are not sufficiently aware of it/trained? Training, or disciplinary action needed as appropriate here. If you believe they are guilty of gross misconduct or theft of company resources then it's grounds for summary dismissal. But don't make accusations you can't prove, or prove yet. A departmet-wide tightening of procedure might stop it, and is sometimes better than a direct approach. Let's them know you know, if you see what I mean. The whole thing comes under the umbrella of Human Resources and it's a big and often tricky issue in any company. Hope you've got some ideas anyway? Broadly speaking sometimes it's matter of the employee lacking the motivation and training to be 'good' or bringing outside problems to work. Sometimes they are just 'bad employees' who looked OK at the recruitment stage but were not all they seemed. Mostly, employees DO want to be reasonably good at their job, take their paycheck in return and not have HR hassles on their back all the time. Best of luck.
