2023-24 Staff Performance Review and Merit Information for Managers February 2024
Key Points The general timeline and review content remains similar to prior years. The dates have changed slightly to account for weekends and the rating names have changed. The staff performance review process runs from March 1 April 26, 2024 for the work done between March1, 2023 and February 29, 2024. All full-time and part-time staff hired before December 1, 2023 participate in the process. This does include grant- funded and post-doc positions. Those hired after December 1, 2023 or full-time and part-time temporary staff may participate upon request. For the purposes of performance reviews, temporary staff are defined as those whose role and the work needed is intended to be less than one year, regardless of funding source.
Key Points As with last year s reviews, no second level manager review of the performance review document is required. Department heads will be able to see ratings and completion status for their teams within Ignite . When merit review occurs, all levels of managers will participate in the merit recommendation and approval process. Because of the merit process, staff salaries can not change from May 1 through August 1.
Changes to Rating Names The rating names were changed based on feedback for greater clarity. The underlying ratings have not changed, just the names. The intent is to provide better understanding and consistency for all. Previous Name Area of Concern Area of Needed Development Area of Competence Area of Mastery Does Not Meet Expectations Inconsistently Meets Expectations Consistently Meets Expectations Consistently Exceeds Expectations New Name
