The Performance Improvement Plan Review document serves as a crucial tool in South African employment relations, used when formal evaluation of an employee's progress against a previously implemented Performance Improvement Plan (PIP) is required. This document is essential for maintaining clear records of performance management processes and ensuring compliance with South African labour laws, including the Labour Relations Act and the Code of Good Practice on Dismissals. It is typically implemented when an initial PIP period concludes, documenting whether performance goals have been met, what support was provided, and determining next steps. The review must be conducted fairly and objectively, with proper documentation to support any decisions made, particularly important if the outcome might lead to further employment actions. The document should reflect South African workplace practices and legal requirements while maintaining professional standards and procedural fairness.
