A number of employers are instigating performance improvement plans for employees whose performance are satisfactory or less. Inevatibly, employees seek legal adsvice on the implications of such PIP, and whether they are indeed justified. In some cases, if the employees do not successfuly meet the standards set by the PIP, they could lose their jobs if theycontinue to underperform.
Employers should take legal advice before implementing a PIP, as this could lead to a claim for constructive dismissal if this is not properly handled.
