NON-UNION EMPLOYEE APPRAISAL

1.0             Rationale

A performance appraisal is an evaluation process based on established criteria and performance standards.  Its objective is to be used in an ongoing, supportive, constructive, cooperative process.  The process is predicated on mutual trust and respect, and achieved in a professional manner, resulting in increased accountability, performance effectiveness and individual growth and learning, which in turn enhances learning for students.  Existing job descriptions, or as modified thereafter, are the fundamental parameters in determining performance levels.

2.0             Definitions

Probationary Employees: All new permanent employees currently serving a probationary period as per the current Working Agreement.

Non-Probationary Employees: A permanent employee who has completed the probationary period and is employed by the Board on a full-time or part-time basis.

District School Board Ontario North East is committed to ensuring that this policy outlines a set of procedures to provide a framework for ongoing professional growth and performance appraisal of the professional practices of non-union employees.
