Performance Appraisals

Understand the annual and six‑month performance review process, appraisal timelines, and training obligations for staff and faculty.

Annual Performance Appraisal

Annual appraisals serve as the basis for merit pay increases (when available) and support employee development. They launch in January via the Talent Management system for staff hired at least 45 days before the appraisal period begins. All evaluations are stored in the system.

Appraisal Period

The appraisal period runs from January 1 to December 31 each year. Professional development training must be completed and marked as such in Talent Management by December 31 to receive credit.

Annual Requirements

Non-supervisory staff must complete 8 hours of job-related training annually. Supervisors and executives must complete 12 hours. Part-time employees' requirements are prorated based on FTE. For example, a 0.5 FTE staff member must complete 4 hours.

Employee Development Policy

Appraisal Process 2024

Starting December 2nd, employees complete Self-Evaluations in Talent Management if instructed to do so by their managers. Once submitted, the manager will be notified by e-mail that the employee has completed the self-evaluation. Managers may begin rating the appraisal factors in the system during this period but cannot submit the review until after the employee self-evaluation period closes on December 16th. The manager can re-open the self-evaluation step beginning December 17th if the employee is unable to complete his or her inputs by December 16th (please see Page 4 of the Manager’s tutorial for more information on reopening this step).
