A.Dear Client,
If you fail the PIP and resign on or before the given date, it may affect your future job prospects. However, if you resign before the termination, you may be able to negotiate the terms of your exit and obtain a relieving order and an experience letter

You pass the PIP and your productivity is unaffected.
You pass the PIP but are less effective than before.
The PIP causes you to "come to Jesus," and you are more effective than before.
You fail the PIP, and you are fired.
You resign before the termination date and negotiate the terms of your exit.

It is important to note that PIPs can backfire against the workers they are supposed to help
Therefore, it is advisable to start planning your exit strategy if you are placed on a PIP
You can start looking for another job while you are still employed, negotiate the terms of your exit, and document everything

A.Dear Client,
An employee either on probation or regular employment is governed by the contract of employment i.e, an offer letter issued by the company at the time of joining. In this situation, you need to review the terms and condition of your offer letter carefully to find out whether the action of the Company is or are contradictory to the terms of your contract of employment. In case you find any deviation or violation of any terms of the contract that makes the working environment toxic, you need to bring the matter to the notice of your higher authority. A performance improvement plan (PIP), also known as a performance action plan, is a tool to give an employee with performance deficiencies the opportunity to succeed. If you're put on a PIP, take time to process your emotions and understand the situation. At times, it may help you to seek the guidance of a mentor — either within the company or a professional career coach. If you fail to cope with the toxic environment and quit in the course of PIP, you may lose getting any unemployment benefits or any severance package. On the other hand, termination for unsatisfactory performance may qualify as retrenchment – i.e., the termination of an employee/ worker for any reason other than by way of disciplinary action, then they are to be given at least 1 month or 3 months prior notice and payment in lieu of notice of termination in compliance with the Sec.25N(1)(a) of Industrial Dispute Act, 1947 provided the employee is a workman as defined under Sec.2(s) of the Act. In that case, reach out to the office of the Labour Commissioner concerned for filing a complaint against the employer for arbitrary and illegal retrenchment from employment without compliance of the mandatory provisions of I D Act failing which you can also raise an industrial dispute before the concerned Labour Commissioner u/s.2A of I D Act directly before the Central Govt. Industrial Tribunal or State Industrial Tribunal depending upon the class of establishment you belong claiming reinstatement in service with back wages. Apart you can also file an application u/s.33C(2) of the I D Act before the concerned Labour Court claiming dues from your employer. Otherwise, if an employee belongs to the manager/supervisory category, then he/she has to pursue a civil suit before a Civil Court for redressal of his grievance. Reach out to an Advocate for serving legal notice to the Company for unethical and unfair trade practices and for further guidance and steps in the matter.
