(A) Performance evaluations are an important part of the employer-employee relationship. Evaluations provide a formal method of communication between an employee and his/her supervisor. All employees shall be evaluated on a regular basis by the department head or his/her designee. At a minimum, evaluations shall occur:
(1) At least one (1) week prior to the completion of the probationary period.
(2) At least annually.
(3) Whenever any change in employment status is initiated.
(B) The Human Resources Office shall provide the evaluation form to be used and the department head has the discretion to include any other evaluations which may be unique to the position. All completed evaluation forms shall be signed by the employee. Should the employee choose not to sign the evaluation, the evaluator shall mark “Refused” on the signature line, and initial that entry. A copy of all completed forms shall become part of the employee's permanent file (kept within the employee's department).
(C) Temporary Reassignment - In certain circumstances, an employee may be temporarily or seasonally reassigned to another department. Whenever such a reassignment occurs, that employee will be evaluated by the new supervisor. If the reassignment is less than one year, both the temporary and permanent supervisor will evaluate the employee.
