Common use of Failure to Perform Employee Evaluations Clause in Contracts

Failure to Perform Employee Evaluations. If the Department fails to process a Personnel Action Form on the due date, it is assumed that the employee meets expectations and shall be given a two (2) step salary increase, not to exceed step 14. The Benefits Section shall initiate the necessary paperwork to process the step(s) increase retroactive to the due date. This will begin upon notification of Employee Relations by the union or employee of a late evaluation. (This will require the department to complete the paper process.) The following provisions regarding the 1% payment for two consecutive missed evaluations are suspended for the term of the contract. Effective July 1, 2005, if an employee has two consecutive missed evaluations the employee shall be given a check equal to one percent (1%) of annual salary. Although this 1% will be provided to employees as a lump sum, it will be reported on an annualized basis to the Public Employee Retirement System (PERS) in accordance with State regulations. This acknowledges that an employee was precluded from having goals and objectives set for the BCEA Merit Pay of up to five percent (5%) that all BCEA employees are eligible for. This failure by management shall not warrant accelerating an employee’s next scheduled evaluation. The parties agree that this rule will not be applicable to employees in the following circumstance, unless otherwise mutually agreed to in writing: A. If the employee has been off work at least 30 days prior to the date that the employee was supposed to be given the evaluation and the employee continues to be off duty, the 1% provision will not apply until at least 30 consecutive days after the employee returns to duty (i.e., the supervisor must give the employee the performance evaluation within 30 days of the date that the employee returns to work). Should the supervisor fail to give the employee the performance evaluation within this time frame, the above 1% provision will be applicable. B. Employees must have occupied the same position (excluding title changes only) for two consecutive years. As such, an employee who is continually promoted on or prior to their evaluation due date to another position will not be eligible for the 1% until they have occupied a position for long enough that they have missed two consecutive evaluations.
