§ 36.122 PERFORMANCE REVIEW PROGRAM.

The County Commissioners evaluate Directors/Administrators. All performance reviews shall be discussed with the respective employee.
   (B)   Performance review criteria. The employee’s job description and/or corresponding standards serve as the basis for performance review.
   (C)   Review schedule.
      (1)   Initial probationary period. At least two weeks prior to completion of the initial probationary period, the supervisor shall complete a performance review in accordance with §§ 36.105 and 36.106, unless the employee is to be rejected on initial probation.
      (2)   Annual performance review. The supervisor shall conduct a performance review at least once per year, but may conduct reviews more frequently. If an employee does not maintain a satisfactory level of performance, the supervisor shall place the employee on performance probation.
   (D)   Interim performance review. When an employee's performance declines to an unacceptable level, a supervisor shall conduct a review of an employee's performance. If an employee's performance is less than satisfactory the supervisor may place the employee on performance probation.
