Employee Records

My personnel records contain a process improvement plan from over 5 years ago that shouldn't exist. It was given as the result of retaliation which was confirmed after disputing the PIP and filing a grievance. I plan to bring this to HR's attention to correct and I'm incline to ask if and how this may have influenced decisions previously made.

Is this approach reasonable? Any suggestion is appreciated.

I think this approach is very reasonable. I would bring this up to HR right away to correct this.

I 100% agree. I would make a list of possible derogatory situations you may have experienced because of the PIP mistakenly remaining on your personnel file. Were you passed over for promotions or career advancing projects? Were there salary increases missed or perhaps lower than they should have been? If so, would increases have been exponentially larger since then?

Does your business have a no retaliation policy? If so, document everything for your own records. Then talk with HR. You will need to think about whether you want to pursue this. If you're concerns are large, you may need a lawyer. And another position.
