yes. i had an HR incident with my manager end of November *. They put me on PIP, started in Jan *. two session later, they fired me
I'm sorry to hear about your situation. In Alberta, there are specific rules around Performance Improvement Plans (PIPs) and terminations. Here are a few points:
- Employers must provide a fair process and reasonable opportunity to improve during a PIP.
- Termination should be based on documented and valid reasons.
- You may be entitled to severance pay.
Would you like to know more about your rights in this situation or pursue a complaint?
they're paying me * weeks of severance
It sounds like you might have questions about the severance pay. In Alberta:
- Minimum severance: Employees are generally entitled to a minimum severance based on length of service.
- Calculations: Severance pay is calculated based on your regular wages, excluding overtime.
- Fairness: Ensure the severance offered is fair and aligns with your contract and employment standards.
Do you feel the severance offered is insufficient, or are you looking for more information on how it was calculated?
i've been with company less than a year, is * weeks fair?
Case Rating: *
In Alberta, the Employment Standards Code dictates that employees with less than one year of service are generally entitled to a minimum of one week's notice or pay in lieu of notice. Two weeks' severance seems fair based on this.
Do you have any other questions related to your termination or severance pay?
i was fired after only * sessions of PIP meeting. They mentioned something about my self evaluation, i selected i exceeded expectations. after i was fired. is this fair?
Case Rating: *
It seems that your termination might not have followed a fair process, especially if the PIP was not given a reasonable time to work. Here are a few considerations:
- Fair Process: Employers should allow employees a reasonable chance to improve during a PIP.
- Documentation: Termination should be based on clear, documented performance issues.
