Classified Staff Performance Evaluations
All supervisors of classified staff are reminded that the current performance evaluation cycle for classified staff ends March 31, 2010.
Performance plans and evaluations are mandatory for all permanent classified staff, including retirees hired as permanent classified staff.
Please note: the reviewer (the second level supervisor or appointing authority) must review and sign the evaluation of an employee’s performance before it is formally presented to the employee. This does not preclude the preliminary discussion of the proposed rating between the supervisor and the employee, but it must be emphasized that any discussion about ratings are preliminary and not final.
Reviewers and employees each need to be given five (5) business days to review the ratings and sign the evaluations. Because of the proximity of the cycle’s end date to the evaluations’ due date, it is advised that supervisors begin planning now how they will manage and schedule the evaluations they need to perform. This includes scheduling access to the appropriate reviewers and evaluation sessions with employees. Please plan accordingly so the appropriate review and signatures can be obtained.
RECOMMENDED EVALUATION TIMELINE FOR SUPERVISORS
Begin consultation with employee and draft evaluation: March 25, 2010
Submit to Reviewer for review/signature and allow 5 days for review: by April 7th, 2010 at noon
Reviewers should return to supervisors by noon on April 12, 2010. Supervisors should then meet with employees to review the evaluation no later than April 19, 2010.
Completed evaluations are due to Mike Furuli no later than April 26th
Please review to make sure that all pertinent fields/sections of the evaluation form are complete and accurate before sending to Human Resources. Please be informed that under no circumstances can the supervisor and the reviewer be the same person. You may use decimals for the goal ratings or numeric scores. If the overall rating contains a decimal please round up before submitting to Human Resources.
In addition to rating each goal or objective, a narrative under the "Results achieved" section is required. We strongly recommend completing the Evaluation Narrative section to sum up the overall performance. This is required for "Below Expectations" (level 1) and "Exceeding Expectations" (level 3) ratings. Any "Below Expectations" rating must be followed by a performance improvement plan or a Corrective Action as part of the progressive discipline process. Please contact the Human Resources Department to discuss "Below Expectations" ratings and for proper steps to follow.
Supervisors must also provide their employees with a copy of the dispute resolution process (included as part of the of the planning and evaluation form) at the time of the final evaluation.
If an employee has extenuating circumstances such as extended absences during the rating period (health or otherwise), please contact the Human Resources Department for proper guidance.

Training Requirement for Supervisors
As a reminder, if you are a supervisor of classified staff you are required to attend a training session on performance management. Please visit our website for a schedule of up-coming training: http://www.ucdenver.edu/about/departments/HR/training/Pages/ManagersToolbox.aspx.
Sanctions for Supervisor Non-Compliance
Per Regent policy, the following sanctions will apply to supervisors who do not comply with the requirement to complete classified staff evaluations in the proscribed timeframe:
Classified Supervisors: corrective action, five-day unpaid suspension, and ineligibility for a performance pay award.
Faculty, Officers, and Exempt Staff supervisors: Disciplinary action, five-day unpaid suspension, and potential impact on salary merit increases.
Please contact Mike Furuli at 6-6021 with any questions.
Thank you.
Web Training - User Centered Design
All are welcome to the second session of web training on user-centered design, which will be held in the ELC from 10:00 – 11:00 am on Tuesday, March 30th. (This is a make-up of the session originally scheduled on the 16th.) Please drop Nina McHale an email to let her know if you would like to attend so that she knows how many handouts, etc. to prepare.
User-centered design is the approach to web design that puts the end user’s needs first. How do we get inside student and faculty heads to present our resources in a way that is intuitive and user-friendly to them, but still satisfies our needs? Nina will give a bit of background about the concept of user-centered design at first, and then everyone will break into small groups for a more hands-on activity.
“The March 2010 issue of C&RL News is now available online and in the mail. The rise of widgets, gadgets, and apps has moved academic and research libraries into a customized, mobile world. But commercial tools can often be pricey and platform-specific. In this issue, Nina McHale encourages you to “Steal this code! Please!” to create and share your own HTML widgets to provide customized access to library resources.”http://crln.acrl.org/content/71/3/136.full
