Performance Evaluation - UC Personnel Policies for Staff Members, Professional Staff (Formerly A&PS) Employees

UC Personnel Policies for Staff Members, Policy 23/Performance
Appraisal, states that the performance of each employee shall be
appraised annually in writing by the employee's immediate supervisor.
The evaluation is an opportunity to measure the employee's
performance, foster professional development and career growth,
support the determination of merit increases, and meet the external
and internal demands for documentation of individual performance.

The performance evaluation process for Professional Staff (formerly
Administrative and Professional Staff or A&PS) employees is a critical
element in determining the salary increase recommendation for this
category of employees who, effective July 1, 1996, are covered by the
UC Personnel Policies for Staff Members. Therefore, managers and
supervisors are encouraged to complete the evaluation process for all
Professional Staff employees no later than June 30, 1997.
Modifications to the performance evaluation time line have been made
to correspond with the Annual Merit Review Cycle, which is now
October.

Exclusively represented employees in the Technical Unit and Research
Support Professional Unit continue to be covered by the provisions of
the Staff Personnel and Administrative and Professional Programs,
whichever is applicable, pending completion of labor contract
negotiations.

The timetable for the October 1997 salary review process will be
established once the 1997-98 budget is made final and the increase
control figure is known. Based on past experiences, there may be a
brief turnaround time frame for supervisors and departments to submit
recommendations for salary increases for Professional Staff employees.

Currently the UCSD Performance Evaluation form, F02049, revised 11/86,
is the appropriate form to use for completing the performance
evaluation for Professional Staff employees.
