Ask your question and an employment lawyer in Ontario, BC or Alberta will answer in minutes
I received a PIP. HR said although there is a signature, I don’t need to sign it. I was told whether I sign it or not, doesn’t matter. Do you have any advice around this signature?
A week later I received an automated task to acknowledge the PIP. The instructions stated to ‘confirm receipt of the PIP, and either acknowledge or refuse to acknowledge the PIP. If you refuse to acknowledge, the PIP process will still move forward . Your refusal will be documented here.’
I don’t agree with all of the PIP items. Must I respond to this? I almost through to the end of the PIP and I don’t want to come across as combative, as my Mgr does not respond well to any of my thoughts or feedback if they are not aligned to hers. Thank you.
Given that the PIP is almost at an end, you may choose to leave it as is. However, it is generally advisable to respond so that the employer is aware of why you disagree with the PIP. Your response could also serve as potential evidence should the employer decide to eventually terminate your employment for alleged performance issues. If you choose to respond, you should do it in writing and detail which portions you disagree with and why you disagree with it. I would also advise that you consult an employment lawyer as soon as possible about your situation.
