Employees should regularly seek advice, counsel and feedback on their performance from their supervisor and peers. Midway through the probationary period, the employee and supervisor meet to review the employee s progress. An APPA form is completed to document progress and areas for improvement. The signed form is then returned to the Medical Center s Office of Employee Relations Services to be placed in the employee s personnel file. Prior to the end of the three month competency assessment period for employees who are voluntarily transferred or promoted within the Medical Center, the supervisor must complete a performance appraisal to document the satisfactory or unsatisfactory assessment of competency.
All employees receive an annual performance appraisal prior to the end of the fiscal year.
Using the APPA form, the supervisor provides an assessment of the employee s performance over the entire performance cycle, including key goals, objectives, competencies and performance factors. The supervisor and employee also review the employee s progress toward achieving development plan results, and decide on new goals, objectives and development plans for the upcoming performance cycle.
