No overall score was required on the form. CSEA and HRM have discussed a formula for assigning a numerical rating to each description and then calculating an overall score from the average. Where we disagree is where to make the cut-off for unsatisfactory, satisfactory and above satisfactory ratings. CSEA is opposed to a sliding scale or grading on a curve that would give only a small percentage of employees an above average rating. We believe that the fairest system would rate the employee against the job standards and give every employee the chance to excel.
Award amounts .
Funding for the above satisfactory award comes from additional MSI funds distributed to each campus from the system and campus additions. Until all of the employee evaluations are completed and scored, we will not know how that money will translate into a percentage award, but we already know that the funds are low. CSEA believes that the campus should augment the funds. We will ask President Gonzalez to at least double the amount through the local budget. Even though San Marcos is a growing campus and budgets are growing tight, employees are the most valuable resource in this institution and should be recognized.
