Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Marginal employees are those who do not meet the expected level of performance and do not show improvement even with coaching. Disciplinary actions are taken when an employee makes repeated errors, which is a characteristic of a marginal employee. The other options, such as working only when client census calls for additional staff, being a new employee, or not socializing well with others, may not necessarily indicate poor performance or marginal status.
