I am seeking advice on PIP. I have been through cancer treatment in the past 4 months. I don't believe it affected my performance to a level that worths a PIP, only some minor delay (~3 days) to unclear deadline and provided technical details not in the format they want. I am in this job for 8+years in middle management. I just received the PIP after 2 weeks med leave. My employer knows I am going through medical treatment, but not specific about illness. They didn't ask if I need accommodation during the time. The 4 weeks target in the PIP is too short because I may have treatment coming in a few weeks. Should I assign the PIP? What is the the consequence? Should I disclose details of my illness and upcoming treatment plan in order to extend the PIP?
Generally speaking, when presented with a PIP that you have issues with, I recommend signing it only to confirm that you've received the document. In terms of the substance, you can provide an email response with your concerns. If you require accommodation due to you treatment, you should disclose this to your employer. If you have further questions, please contact our firm to discuss the matter in more detail.
