Performance Review Period

• There is one annual performance review cycle for staff, which begins in mid-April and ends on March 31 of the following calendar year. Departments may establish internal deadlines prior to March 31 to facilitate the needs and plans of the departments.

Employment Dates that Trigger a Review

• A performance review is required, within the established cycle, for any staff member with continuous regular employment 3 months prior to the cycle end date. Continuous employment is defined as no break in service more than 10 days.
• Departments have discretion to require performance appraisals be conducted on a more frequent basis dependent on the departmental needs or regulatory compliance.

Multiple Jobs

• Employees who hold multiple jobs, whether within the same department or in more than one department, are only required to have one review completed each cycle.
• Multiple reviews may be completed if desired.

Compliance

• For a review to count as completed in a specific cycle, the review date on the form must be on or prior to the cycle end date.
• Ratings are required for all Merit and P&S employees
• Ratings are optional for SEIU employees

Employee Status Performance Review Requirements
