Performance Management

State Civil Service is moving to a new performance management tool, Continuous Performance Management (CPM). CPM will be implemented January 1, 2025. This new system will change the evaluation period for classified employees from fiscal year to calendar year.

Performance Evaluation System – Unclassified

The annual performance appraisal provides a means to discuss, to plan and to review the performance of each non-faculty employee.

Important Dates

Performance Evaluation Cycle: July 1 – June 30

Performance Evaluation Session: July 1 – August 31*

Performance Planning Session: July 1 – September 31*

*All planning sessions and evaluation ratings must be submitted to the Human Resources Department no later than August 31 (evaluations) and September 30 (planning sessions) of each fiscal year. If the deadline falls on a weekend, Holiday or University Closure, all forms are due in Human Resources the workday before.

Unclassified Evaluation Policy Highlights:

1. Employees and Supervisors will work together through the evaluation and planning process;
2. Performance and goal planning should be done at least (30) days before the performance;
3. Employees and supervisors must work together during the performance year to ensure the employee is getting feedback and the supervisor is documenting progress;
4. If an employee changes jobs during the performance year, the supervisor will be required to complete an interim performance evaluation;
5. If the employee is not meeting the performance goals or under-performing, the manager/supervisor will be required to prepare a performance improvement plan and provide follow-up to the employee;
6. An employee who disagrees with their annual performance evaluation has a right to appeal to Human Resources. The Human Resource decision is final.
