Common use of Performance Based Merit Delay Clause in Contracts

Performance Based Merit Delay. Merit Step Index increases will occur on the employee’s SAD, only when the Human Resources Department has received an evaluation that shows that the employee at least “meets standards” within the last 3 months of the employee’s SAD. If the employee does not receive a satisfactory performance evaluation, the employee will be given a Performance Improvement Plan (PIP) detailing what is required for the employee to achieve at least satisfactory performance levels. Merit increases will be automatically withheld until such time the employee receives at least a “Meets Standards” performance evaluation. In this instance, the employee’s Salary Anniversary Date (SAD) will be the 1st day of the month following said successful performance evaluation. However, if the successful performance evaluation is given on the 1st day of the month then the merit increase will be given in that same month. [Reference Section 11.16 Salary Anniversary Date (SAD) for Merit Index Rate Adjustments of this Agreement]. Salary Anniversary Date (SAD) delays for receiving less than a “meets standard” performance evaluation will be computed as follows: each month beyond the current SAD the employee does not have at least a “meets standards” performance evaluation will permanently reduce an employee’s SAD by one month (i.e. move the SAD forward one month). [Reference Section 11.18 Performance Based Delay of this Agreement].
