As the direct supervisor for {Name} during {his/her} probation, it is my belief that {he/she} should not be cleared for permanent work at the end of {his/her} probationary period on {date}.
{Name} has been working in a probationary capacity since {start date}, and in that time has struggled to complete {his/her} basic responsibilities without repeated help from coworkers and supervisors. The work that {he/she} produces, while on time and usually meeting our specifications, is mostly subpar in quality and thoroughness.
I am recommending that we let this employee go, as {he/she} is not right for this company in a long-term capacity.
