Performance Improvement Plan Concerns

Summary

A Performance Improvement Plan (PIP) in Alberta is typically a tool for performance enhancement rather than formal discipline. However, if mismanaged, it can lead to disciplinary actions. Its crucial to document all related interactions, review your employment contract, and consult with HR if you feel the PIP is unfair. For disputes with a commercial landlord, draft a letter stating payments are subject to dispute and request records for an audit. Shift workers in Alberta are generally entitled to statutory holidays, provided they meet certain criteria.
