It is the responsibility of each operating unit to ensure that all supervisory employees are trained in the review process for classified employees.
Merit awards are subject to the availability of funds.
Institutional pools may or may not be available. Budgetary guidelines for merit increases will be distributed as soon as the institution's fiscal position for that fiscal year can be determined. Employees may not receive a merit increase during a probationary period. All employees with at least six months of service must be reviewed in order for a department to participate in the merit program. The intent is for all employees to receive an annual review, and merit increases should be awarded only when all employees have had the opportunity to receive feedback on their job performance.
