Nonfaculty Employees Performance Evaluation Process for 2013

Closing the 2012-2013 Review Year

• Conduct evaluation meetings between April 1 and May 31, 2013.
• Follow the format and process your department used last year:
  • Online users will access evaluations through TAMUJobs on SSO menu.
  • Paper format users can access the form here.
• The 5 point rating scale definitions remain the same as those used last year.
• The future Performance Objectives/Goals Action Plan will not be documented in these formats.
  • Do develop and discuss future goals and objectives with the employee.
    • Capture goals and objectives discussed here.
  • Documentation will occur with the launch of the Performance Plan in PATH.
• Complete the performance evaluation and close the process on the 2012-2013 review year.

Helpful Tips to Prepare for the Employee Performance Evaluation

• As the April to May delivery period approaches, there are a number of activities that can assist supervisors in preparing and discussing evaluations with their employees.
• Review PDs to assure these accurately reflect the employee's up-to-date job duties and discuss with employee. Best practice suggests the use of duty titles – a brief (1–3 word) descriptor in the duty title field on the PD.
  • The updated PD will be used in the Performance Plan created in PATH for next year's evaluation.
• Gather, review and assess relevant performance information: manager's notes, event calendars, professional development and training transcripts, awards & commendations occurring in the past year, and any other related progress or performance communications.
• Participate in performance evaluation training sessions when available.
