What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? CA
A friend of mine was terminated recently from a very large corporation. She received her bonus which was a part of her 1 month severance and it was 1/4 of what she was entitled to. When she called H.R. to find out why, they said she didn't receive her full bonus because of a poor performance review.
She never saw this review or even knew it was done. She wasn't even told why she was terminated at the time she was let go but was led to believe it was due to restructuring. It seems pretty convenient that she was performing poorly when the bonus was at stake.
Here's my question:
1) Are employers required to share an employee's performance review with them? Are they required to give specific reasons / examples for termination especially when it was due to poor performance?
How are they supposed to know they are not doing well if they are never approached by management? How are they supposed to improve?
Thank you so much for any advice anyone can share.
