PIP (Performance Improvement Plan)

Formal plan with measurable goals to address underperformance.

A well-run PIP is honest about expectations, time-bound (30/60/90 days), and gives the employee a real path. A badly-run one is a fig leaf for a decision already made.

The legal and ethical bar is the same: clear expectations, support to meet them, consistent application across employees, and documented evidence at each checkpoint.
