Understanding Performance Deductions
[SHORTCODE_ELEMENTOR id="2104"]
At OXO, your performance score reflects not only your achievements and contributions, but also your professionalism, reliability, and adherence to company policies. While most of the performance management system focuses on positive evaluation—what you've accomplished and how well you've met your goals—there are also mechanisms in place to address attendance issues and policy violations.
This section explains two types of deductions that can affect your final performance score: Absenteeism-Based Deductions and Reprimand-Based Deductions. Understanding these will help you maintain strong performance and avoid unnecessary score reductions.
What Are Performance Deductions?
Performance deductions are point reductions applied to your overall performance score when certain issues occur. Think of your performance score as starting with a potential maximum based on your work quality, goal achievement, and manager evaluation. Deductions subtract points from that score based on specific infractions or patterns of behavior that don't meet OXO's standards.
These deductions exist to:
- Ensure fairness and consistency across the company
- Reinforce the importance of attendance, reliability, and professional conduct
- Clearly communicate the consequences of policy violations
- Maintain a productive and respectful workplace for everyone
The good news is that these deductions are entirely avoidable. By showing up consistently, following company policies, and maintaining professional behavior, you won't have to worry about them at all.
