Frequently asked questions

Yes — free to download, no account required, and no limit on how many times HR or managers use it.

It's a documentation tool, not a contract — and the acknowledgment line makes that explicit: the employee's signature confirms they received the PIP, not that they agree with it, which matters if it's ever referenced later. The goals need to be specific and measurable (not "improve attitude") for the PIP to actually hold up as a fair, documented basis for whatever happens if they aren't met.

The specific areas of concern with concrete examples (not vague generalities), measurable goals and a clear deadline for the review period, what support the company will provide (training, check-ins), a check-in schedule to track progress, and the consequences if goals aren't met — up to and including termination, consistent with at-will employment.
