Performance evaluation means a systematic review of employees in the effective accomplishment of their assigned duties and responsibilities. A recommendation for salary adjustment may or may not be included in the evaluation.

The human resources director is responsible for ensuring that performance evaluations are fair, objective, timely and in compliance with city policy, which may be set forth in administrative regulations.

(e)

Performance evaluations are completed by the employee's supervisor, and subject to approval by the supervisor's next level supervisor.

(f)

Probationary employees may be reviewed informally once a month within the department. A formal report may be made at the end of the employee's probationary period, with a recommendation for regular status, probationary rejection, or extension of the probationary period.

(g)

An employee may be reviewed at any time, and a formal performance evaluation, including salary consideration, is done at least once annually.
