Dear Sir,
I am a confirmed employee currently serving in a private sector bank. In October, I was placed on a Performance Improvement Plan (PIP) by my manager. Upon realizing that I would not be able to meet the set targets, I decided to resign in November. I am currently serving my notice period.
The initial PIP letter clearly stated that there would be three PIPs if my performance did not improve. Despite my resignation being approved by both my manager and HR, I have been issued a second PIP and threatened with termination during my notice period. Additionally, they have indicated that they may not provide me with a relieving letter.
Thank you.

Dear Employee,
I understand your situation, and I will try to provide you with the best possible solution. Based on your description, there are a few key issues at hand.
1. 🔍 Performance Improvement Plan (PIP): The PIP is designed to help employees improve their performance. It is not a tool for termination but rather a means to help employees meet their targets.
2. 🔍 Resignation: Once you have submitted your resignation and it has been accepted by your manager and HR, you are considered to be serving your notice period. Any performance-related issues should not be part of your notice period.
3. 🔍 Termination Threats: Threatening to terminate you during your notice period is not an acceptable practice.
4. 🔍 Relieving Letter: As per labor laws in India, an employer cannot withhold your relieving letter once you have completed your notice period.
Here are some practical steps you can take:
1. 🔍 Document Everything: Keep a record of all your interactions with your manager and HR, including the threats of termination and withholding of your relieving letter.
2. 🔍 Discuss with HR: Have a discussion with your HR department about your concerns. Present them with the documentation and ask for clarification on why you are being issued additional PIPs during your notice period.
3. ⛸️👨‍⚖️ Legal Advice: If your concerns are not addressed or if you feel threatened, you may want to consider seeking legal advice. An employment lawyer can help you understand your rights and provide guidance on the next steps.
4. 👨‍⚖️🛠️ Labor Board: If your employer continues to threaten you or withhold your relieving letter, you can approach the labor board in your city. They can intervene on your behalf and ensure that your rights are protected.
Remember, it's crucial to remain professional throughout this process. Keep your conversations and communications focused on the issue at hand, and try to resolve it in the best possible manner.
