University Policy states that all staff employees must undergo a written annual evaluation. Staff should begin completion of the Performance Evaluation Form by listing tasks/responsibilities managed during the previous calendar year. This part should be completed in early January. Supervisors should add the work standard and evaluate the staff member’s performance against that standard, then meet face to face with staff to discuss the evaluation and obtain the staff member’s signature. The signed final copy should be submitted to the Office of Faculty and Finance no later than January 31st of each year. New staff are required to undergo an evaluation within their first 6-month probationary period. The form used during the annual evaluation is also used for the probationary evaluation.
