Performance Management and Procedural Fairness

Law Tram’s Workplace Rights Consultation simplifies the process by connecting you with licensed Australian lawyers who can offer tailored legal advice specific to your situation. This free, fully online, and obligation-free service ensures you receive expert guidance every step of the way.

Facing Warnings or Performance Reviews at Work? You Still Have Legal Rights

Employers are allowed to manage employee performance, but they must follow a fair and reasonable process. This includes giving clear feedback, setting expectations, and allowing you to respond. If warnings or performance plans are used unfairly, or the goal is to push you out, it may amount to adverse action or even constructive dismissal.

Whether you’ve received a written warning, been placed on a performance improvement plan (PIP), or feel like you’re being set up to fail, understanding your rights can protect your job and your reputation.

Law Tram connects you with lawyers who can explain your options and support you through the process.

My manager gave me a PIP out of nowhere. The lawyer explained what was fair and how I should respond.

They were building a case to get rid of me. The lawyer helped me negotiate an exit that protected my reputation.
