Frequently Asked Questions 23 Michigan Department of Civil Service Frequently asked questions about the transition of Group 2 and 3 employees into a performance management and pay system. Civil Service must approve all performance management and pay systems for Groups 2 and 3, but there are no deadlines for implementation. However, no timetable for implementation is established.
Implementation strategy is up to each agency.
The decision to include one or both groups is optional. While the previous answer states the method for conversion, we will consider other possible approaches for phasing-in individual positions. We recommend including the details about class and program designation in your proposal. If appropriate, we would allow a customized implementation plan for an agency to facilitate implementation of a performance appraisal and pay program. The department can limit all performance pay awards to lump sums only.
