Response to Disciplinary Write-Up / PIP
Respond professionally to a disciplinary write-up, Performance Improvement Plan (PIP), or other written warning. Creates a paper trail rebutting or contextualizing the notice, requests inclusion in your personnel file, and (if you believe the write-up is retaliatory) preserves your right to file an EEOC, OSHA, NLRB, or state-labor-board complaint.
Statute of Limitations Warning
Legal deadlines apply to your claim. You lose your right to act if you wait too long. Send notice as soon as possible.
Why this letter works:
- Cites the exact law: Automatically applies the correct state and federal statutes to your situation.
- Sets a firm deadline: Legally compels a response within the required statutory timeframe.
- Creates a paper trail: Designed to serve as Exhibit A if you need to escalate to an agency or court.

Before you start
What exactly do I get, and when?
A personalized PDF letter, written around the statute that applies to your situation, with the deadline and the consequence spelled out. It downloads the moment payment confirms, back here on commoner-law.com — there is no waiting period and no account to create. You can also add certified mail at checkout and we will send the physical letter for you.
How much is it?

Is this legal advice?
This tool generates a self-help response to an employer's disciplinary notice or PIP. It is not legal advice and does not replace consultation with an employment attorney. Anti-retaliation filing deadlines are short — EEOC charges generally must be filed within 180 or 300 days; OSHA whistleblower complaints within 30 days. If you believe the disciplinary notice was issued because you engaged in protected activity, consult a licensed employment attorney or your state labor agency promptly. Submitting this response does not stop those clocks from running.
What if I need to change something afterwards?
Tell us and we will either adjust the letter and send you the updated version at no cost, or refund you in full — your choice. If we can’t deliver what you paid for, the refund is automatic. Full terms are on our promise page.
Do I have to pay to know if I have a case?
No. The rights encyclopedia on this site is free and cites the same primary sources the letter does. Read the relevant guide first — plenty of situations are resolved by a phone call to a free statutory body, and where one exists we say so.
