Employee discipline is one of the most challenging aspects of workforce management and can take various forms. One common type of employee discipline is the use of a performance improvement plan (PIP). A PIP is typically a formal, written document that outlines an employee’s performance or behavioral deficiencies, sets forth clear and quantifiable goals, and establishes a timeline by which an employee must successfully complete such goals. In drafting and implementing a PIP, employers have to contend with a variety of considerations—including mitigating any legal risks and ensuring fair treatment of all employees.
