Performance Improvement Plans

Performance Improvement Plans (“PIP’s”) have been a growing problem for our clients. Human Resource employees and consultants are advising employers that PIP’s can be used whenever they want to get rid of an employee, regardless of the underlying reason. They are very frequently a tactic to achieve an end: getting someone to leave, resign, act out in anger, retire or otherwise depart, with as little compensation as possible, including severance, unemployment or notice-period expense. Thankfully, there are usually paper trails which can ferret out whether the motivation behind the PIP is legitimate or whether it is being used to improperly push someone out. We believe every PIP should be resisted in an effective manner.

We will be pleased to meet and discuss your PIP with you. Contact us online or at (212) 425.4250 for an initial consultation where we will be able to determine whether we believe we can help you and you, at that time, you will have the opportunity to decide whether you wish to invite us to do so.
