Performance Management
Annual performance evaluations are a key component to employee performance and development. The objectives of annual performance evaluations are to provide employees and their supervisors an opportunity to discuss job performance, set goals, establish objectives for contributing to the department's mission, and discuss expectations and accomplishments. All wage adjustments are based upon satisfactory performance.
University Staff, Academic Staff and Limited
University Staff, Academic Staff (instructional and non-instructional) and Limited employees are evaluated on a fiscal year basis (July - June). In Workday, annual performance evaluations will be initiated in July and will rate performance fiscal year that just ended. The deadline to complete the process is 90 days after it is initiated.
Per SYS 1250: Job Security, University Staff newly hired to a position will be required to serve a probationary period at least 6 months in duration. Two performance evaluations (3 months & 6 months) will be conducted during the employee’s probationary period to provide a structured opportunity to discuss performance.
New Non-Instructional Academic Staff and Limited employees should have a performance evaluation completed at the 6-month mark in order to provide a structured opportunity to discuss performance.
