In certain cases, probationary termination may be necessary. A 1-NEW performance appraisal also will be issued toward the conclusion of the probationary period for the classification to which the employee moved. This is a yearly appraisal given to university employees with permanent status. In the absence of an annual appraisal, the employee's previous rating in the classification will be retained. This is an appraisal that has been specifically requested by a supervisor.
Every performance appraisal evaluates a designated rating period.
It is very important that the employee be evaluated on what he or she does and how well he or she does it during that specific time period. An employee cannot be rated for a period not yet worked. Therefore, please do not complete an appraisal until after the appraisal period end date. When a supervisor finds that he or she will not be available to complete an appraisal, either the next level or an alternate supervisor may be designated. The University of Florida requires that probationary and annual appraisals be completed on a timely basis.
