A manager may ask an HR representative to sit in on an employee performance meeting as a witness, but it should be the employee's manager—not HR—who takes ownership of performance-related issues and follows through on any subsequent consequences, Walters says.
The employee will be entitled to be accompanied by a fellow employee or trade union representative or official. At the meeting, you will be given an opportunity to ask questions, comment on the issues and to explain any issues around your performance or mitigating circumstances.
HR may also opt to sit in if there is a concern that behavior could escalate during the meeting. HR also might choose to attend an initial and/or final PIP meeting if a third party is needed to later corroborate what was said at the meeting in court, should litigation later arise.
