Performance Improvement Plans (PIP) Sample Clauses

Performance Improvement Plans (PIP). When an administrator has a concern with the work performance of a unit member, the administrator will provide written notification of the specific concerns and recommendations for improvement in order to provide an opportunity to correct the performance concern.

If necessary to review progress on the specific concern, a joint review by the administrator and unit member will occur within the timetable established by the administrator. Following such written notification, if the administrator determines that a formal Performance Improvement Plan (PIP) is necessary, the unit member may request an informal observation by a second administrator.

Any changes to the PIP will be discussed with the unit member and provided in writing. C. The principal will be responsible for managing the PIP and will schedule pre and post conferences with the unit member. D. It is the responsibility of the unit member to work to improve the noted deficiencies. E. If a unit member desires, he/she may bring a fellow unit member and/or an Association representative with him/her to any of the above meetings. F.

Performance Improvement Plans (PIP). A. The purpose of a PIP is to return the employee to an acceptable level of performance as soon as possible. An employee placed on a PIP shall be given a written notice which includes: 1. the critical element(s) of the employee’s plan for which performance is unacceptable; 2. the action(s) that must be taken by the employee to improve performance to the “Meets or Exceeds Expectations” level; 3. the assistance that will be provided by supervisory personnel including regularly scheduled progress meetings; and 4. the action (i.e., reassignment, reduction-in-grade, or removal) that will be taken if the employee does not improve performance to the “Meets or Exceeds Expectations” level. B. As part of this notification, the employee will be given a reasonable time period to reach the “Meets or Exceeds” level and that level of performance must be sustained at least until one year from the start of the opportunity to improve period. Reasonable time means an amount of time commensurate with the duties and responsibilities of the employee’s job that is also sufficient to allow the employee to show whether he/she can meet minimum performance standards documented in writing. A minimum of sixty (60) calendar days is considered reasonable. At the end of the stated period, the employee’s performance will be re-evaluated and the employee will be informed in writing of one of the following options: 1. he/she performed at an acceptable level, and must maintain an acceptable level of performance for one year from the start of the PIP; 2. the opportunity to improve period shall be extended; 3. he/she will be reassigned to another appropriate position for which qualified; or 4. his/her removal or reduction-in-grade is proposed.

Provide clear goals which are appropriate for the responsibilities of the employee’s position; 4. Frequent (at a minimum, every two (2) weeks) interaction and feedback with the supervisor regarding progress; and 5.
