Supervisor's Resources
Compliance with the professional staff handbook regarding performance evaluations for 2019-2020 was cancelled. Although performance evaluations are an important aspect of human resource management, under the circumstances, enforcing this could place an additional burden on supervisors and employees. Human Resources encourages all supervisors to provide continual feedback and communication to employees regarding their performance. HR Consultants are available to provide support.
Similarly, PSE, WFSE and the University have agreed that written annual performance evaluations referenced in Article 34 and Article 6, respectively, of the collective bargaining agreements will be suspended for the 19-20 fiscal year.
To initiate a position review, please contact your HR Consultant prior to submitting a position description.
To request a temporary pay increase, the supervisor needs to submit an email to your HR Consultant with the request and the basis for the request.
