Performance Improvement Plan Drafter

Difficulty: Advanced | Time to implement: 30 min | Saves you: ~3 hrs/week Tools: ChatGPT / Claude

This template takes your honest notes about an underperforming employee and produces a complete, structured Performance Improvement Plan (PIP) — specific behavioral gaps, measurable expectations, a 30/60/90-day timeline, support the company will provide, and a clear statement of consequences. Designed for small business owners and managers who have to address a serious performance problem but freeze on how to put it in writing fairly, specifically, and without creating legal exposure. A PIP is one of the highest-stakes documents you'll ever write about an employee — this gives you a careful first draft, not a final one.
