Common use of Performance Improvement Plan (PIP) Clause in Contracts

Performance Improvement Plan (PIP). The Employer may develop a Performance Improvement Plan (PIP) for an employee when the employee’s performance is deficient. The PIP shall be developed and administered under guidelines and procedures established by the Employer’s Department of Human Resources. An employee shall have the right to request to have an Association representative present at any conference involving the development of a PIP or discussion of a current PIP. The Employer shall advise an employee of that right prior to an initial such conference and with sufficient advance notice so as to afford the employee a reasonable opportunity to make arrangements for the attendance of an Association representative. Once a PIP is developed, the Employer shall give the employee meaningful written feedback at least once every thirty (30) days regarding the employee’s progress under the PIP. A PIP shall be effective for a reasonable period needed to satisfactorily improve the employee’s performance or modify the employee’s behavior, but, in any case, a PIP shall not be effective for more than twelve (12) months. An employee who fails to improve performance to a satisfactory level or whose performance becomes deficient again for the same or similar reasons within two (2) years after having completed a PIP, may be subject to discipline up to discharge from employment. At the discretion of the Employers, a PIP may be extended or modified. If the PIP is to be extended or modified, the Employer will notify the Association as soon as practical.
