The probationary period for {Name} in {Department} is ending on {date}. As {his/her} direct supervisor, I am recommending that we extend {his/her} probation for an additional {amount of time} due to inconsistent work quality.
{Name} has been very enthusiastic about this position and eager to fulfill {his/her} responsibilities and to seek out initiative. However, I have gotten the impression that {he/she} doesn't always read the work manuals thoroughly or lacks the ability to retain all parts of my instruction.
I believe that it's possible that the current subpar work is due to the stress and confusion surrounding initiation in the workplace. I recommend more time to allow me to evaluate {Name} when {he/she} has become more accustomed to the role.
