(b) if the employee did not meet a required standard whether or not—
(i) the employee was aware, or could reasonably be expected to have been award of the required performance standard;
(ii) the employee was given a fair opportunity to meet the required performance standard; and
(iii) dismissal was an appropriate sanction for not meeting the required performance standard.
