1. Would I still be eligible to receive severance after failing PIP (performance improve plan)?
2. Would resigning early, instead of facing termination through a PIP, help protect future employment opportunities?

We would have to review the documents associated with the PIP, along with your employment terms to be able to provide you with advice. You likely would still be entitled to a severance package even if you have a PIP. Please contact our office for a consultation. We do not recommend resigning, without first obtaining legal advice, as it will affect your ability to obtain Employment Insurance and potentially a severance package.
