Common use of Process and Responsibilities Clause in Contracts

Process and Responsibilities. Approximately thirty (30) days prior to the employee’s annual performance increment anniversary date in his/her current position, the supervisor may initiate a performance evaluation by forwarding a completed Performance Evaluation Form to an employee under his/her direction. The employee will have ten (10) working days to review and prepare a response, at their discretion, as an attachment to the Performance Evaluation Form before returning the form to their supervisor. The employee may request the assistance of a Xxxxxxx or designated Union Representative in preparing a response. The employee may have a Xxxxxxx or designated Union Representative present as an observer during the performance evaluation discussion. The employee shall sign the performance evaluation as proof the employee has read it; such signature shall not necessarily constitute agreement with the contents of the evaluation. The supervisor is ultimately responsible for completion of the performance evaluation process, which includes discussing the performance evaluation with the employee, obtaining signatures and forwarding the Performance Evaluation Form to the Director of Human Resources where it will be placed in the employee’s official file. The employer will forfeit the right to withhold an increment if the supervisor fails to complete the evaluation process by the employee’s anniversary date. Increments may be withheld only when the performance evaluation documents unsatisfactory performance of duties and the employer has made a reasonable effort to coach the employee about his/her work performance.
