Procedure 1.2.38 NON-UNION EMPLOYEE APPRAISAL

Performance appraisals (Appendix A) for the non-union employee group will be carried out by the immediate supervisor as follows:

 

Employees will create a growth plan annually (Appendix B) to establish professional development goals. Performance Appraisals will occur at least once every five (5) years. The supervisor may conduct additional performance appraisals as deemed necessary.

 

A performance appraisal will occur prior to the end of the probationary period for each new employee or within the first six (6) months of the new job classification. Subsequent performance appraisals will occur at least once every five (5) years. The supervisor may conduct additional performance appraisals as deemed necessary.

 

Supervisors will review the evaluation format with the employee in September of the year the evaluation is to take place, or upon hiring.

 

During the period of evaluation, the employee will be evaluated based on the criteria in Appendix A, as well as on the parameters established in the existing job description and on any objectives jointly set for the evaluation period. At the end of the evaluation period, the supervisor will complete Appendix A and will meet with the employee to discuss the performance appraisal. The employee will be advised of the date and time of this meeting at least five (5) working days prior to the meeting date. The performance appraisal will be signed by both the employee and the supervisor. The employee will have an opportunity to provide comments on the form. Completed evaluations are to be shared with, and copied to, the employee and forwarded to Human Resources to be placed in personnel files. Employees who disagree with their evaluation should bring their concerns to their immediate supervisor. An employee who still disagrees with an evaluation may appeal to the Superintendent of Human Resources in writing within seven days of receipt of the evaluation.

 

Employees who receive an unsatisfactory performance appraisal are required to meet with their supervisor and complete the Improvement Plan (Appendix C). Employees who receive an unsatisfactory performance appraisal will follow the process as outlined in Appendix D.
