Section 156.4 - Performance evaluation

(a) Employees with one year of service in grade as of March 31, 1985 shall be evaluated and eligible to receive a performance advance provided they are rated and receive a rating higher than unsatisfactory or an equivalent rating. Thereafter, employees with one year of service in grade who receive better than unsatisfactory or an equivalent rating shall be eligible to receive performance advances.

(b) Supervisors shall evaluate eligible employees against a written performance program comprised of objectives, tasks and standards established by the supervisor upon review and approval of the reviewer. The approved performance program must be given and thoroughly explained to the employee at the onset of the evaluation period. The employee may attach written comments concerning the program; however, such comments shall serve as a formal expression of the employee's point of view and not a change of the performance program. Upon completion of the annual evaluation period, the supervisor shall evaluate the employee's actual performance against the standards in the evaluation program. The evaluation report must be reviewed and approved by the reviewer before it is given to the employee. Upon approval of the reviewer, the evaluation report is final.

(c) Employees covered by the provisions of this Part must be on the payroll at the time of rating. When an employee is off the payroll or in less than regular full-time pay status for a full payroll period or more, the employee's rating period is to be extended by the same amount of time (in multiples of full payroll periods).
