You're going to have to either fix them or get rid of them. You can't keep them as-is.
Fixing them may not be possible. You actually need them to fix themself; you can't actually fix them. But you can try to find out what's going on, and you can try to motivate and coach.
Getting rid of them will probably require a paper trail and a formal PIP process, and will take a while.

Yep.
And even if there are no technical grounds for firing, HR and/or a few higher-up managers should hear about the problem from the direct manager (you), and know that you're looking for solutions.
And from "the last few months", I'd say those conversations are overdue.
Might your jurisdiction be one where being fired is a better deal (gov't benefits, whatever) than resigning?
