EMPLOYMENT EVALUATION

"Employment Evaluation" is a faculty member's or supervisor's written assessment of a bargaining unit employees' employment performance.

If an employment evaluation is to take place, the employing department or hiring unit shall communicate, in writing, evaluation criteria, schedule and procedures for written employment evaluations, to employees or upon request to the Union within the first fourteen (14) days of the appointment period.

There shall be no changes in criteria and procedures used to evaluate the bargaining unit employee during the appointment period, unless there is a change in the assignment of the bargaining unit employee in which case notice of new criteria, schedule and procedures for written employment evaluations shall be provided in accordance with provision 8.2, above.

If a bargaining unit employee disagrees with the content of an evaluation, within fourteen (14) days of receipt of the evaluation, the bargaining unit employee may submit a rebuttal statement that the University shall attach to the employment evaluation.

The content of an employment evaluation of a bargaining unit employee shall not be subject to the grievance procedure, but the procedural requirements of the provisions of this article shall be subject to the grievance procedure.

If the bargaining unit employee is alleging that the content of an evaluation constitutes a violation of Article 16, Non-Discrimination, then the bargaining unit employee may contest the content of the evaluation subject to the requirements of Article 16, Non-Discrimination. If the bargaining unit employee is alleging that the content of an evaluation constitutes a violation of Article 10, Grievance Procedure, then the bargaining unit employee may contest the content of the evaluation subject to the requirements of Article 10, Grievance Procedure.
