Review With Employee. It is acknowledged that the prime benefit of a sound performance rating system is that it brings together the employee and the supervisor for a xxxxx and constructive discussion and appraisal of the employee's work with specific suggestions for improvement. Therefore, it is expected that a performance report will be prepared by the employee's immediate supervisor at least annually which shall be thoroughly discussed with the employee. The employee shall sign the report to acknowledge such discussion of its contents. Such signature shall not necessarily mean the employee agrees with the contents of said report. A copy of the performance report shall be given to the employee. Any employee who receives an overall “Unacceptable” or “Needs Improvement” rating will not be considered for any merit or length of service step advancement until an overall “Achieves Requirements” rating is established. Where an employee receives an overall rating of “Unacceptable” on two consecutive occasions, disciplinary action may be taken by the appointing authority as provided in Section 17.
