An employee’s appraisal is his or her supervisor’s assessment of their performance on the
job. Every effort is made to ensure its fairness and accuracy. Performance appraisals shall
not be discussed with other employees who do not have a need to know.

affiliation, national origin or disability status.

During the third month of the probationary period for new hires or employees
assigned to new positions.

recommended for regular status or assignment to regular status in a new position,
which would not commence until the first day of their seventh month of
employment or assignment.
3.
Appraisals of performance for a regular employee shall generally be made annually,
prior to the end of the fiscal year – June 30th.

Department Managers shall review each appraisal and comments of employees
assigned to their department. All appraisals shall be placed in the employee’s
personnel folder in the Human Resources Department. Employees shall sign their
appraisal at the time that the review is presented to them by their supervisor. An
employee’s signature indicates only that he or she has reviewed the appraisal, not
necessarily that they agree with it. Employees are encouraged to supplement the
appraisal with their own comments.
