Administrative Assistant Reflection

I hope all is well with you. Currently, I have a staff member on my team that serves in the capacity of an Administrative Assistant. She has been assigned with task that are apart of her job scope, however, she has failed to complete roughly 5 of those assignments. Unfortunately, she is out on leave due to death in her family. These assignments were given as early at 08/24 -08/30. She called out due to her family member's immediate illness on 09/01. Although, she has been out and I am sorry for her loss, I need to address the items that she has failed to complete timely.

Our department is extremely short staff and her lack of completing assignment places an abundant amount of strain on us to fill in and complete. Is there a proper counseling
