You Were Put on a Performance Improvement Plan. Now What?

Employment Law article by Lamb McErlane Attorney Lauren M. Law.

One of the most frequently asked questions I receive from employees is whether a Performance Improvement Plan (“PIP”) means they are going to be fired. Unfortunately, there is no universal answer. Sometimes a PIP presents a genuine opportunity for an employee to improve. Other times, it is the beginning of the termination process.

I have represented employees who successfully completed a PIP and remained with their employer for years. I have also represented employees who were terminated shortly after receiving one. The PIP rarely tells the full story; the surrounding circumstances often reveal much more.

At Lamb McErlane PC, we help employees and employers navigate difficult workplace issues before they develop into larger disputes. We combine practical employment advice with litigation experience, allowing us to evaluate not only what is happening now, but also how the decisions being made may be viewed if the matter later results in a legal claim.

Lauren is a Senior Associate at Lamb McErlane. She focuses her practice on labor and employment law, complex civil and business litigation, and personal injury.
