Policy Procedure 1. The Board shall pay actual and necessary expenses within budgetary limitations and may authorize an advance of registration fees. Voluntary attendance at conferences, seminars, and workshops may be authorized with no loss of pay and with or without partial reimbursement of expenses. All time lost in pursuing classroom activities must be made up within the employee's regular work week, unless the class enrollment is at the request of the supervisor. The District shall maintain a Career Incentive Program to encourage classified employees to complete coursework which will improve their skills relating to their position, or which will help prepare them for promotion to a higher level position in the District.
Amount is pro rated for part-time employees.
Future compensation associated with this career incentive increment will remain at the initial dollar amount. The purpose of the classified employees' appraisal is to encourage higher levels of performance in the service of students, the community, and the institution, and to identify areas which could be enhanced in order to increase the overall effectiveness and efficiency of the operation of the College. The program is designed to give constructive feedback to employees about their job performance, defining both areas of strength and areas that could be enhanced. The appraisal is based on the department plans, the individual's job description, and may include feedback from a selected pool of respondents. MiraCosta College believes that evaluation should be an ongoing process between employees and supervisors.
