POLICY DIRECTIVE

EMPLOYEE PERFORMANCE REVIEW AND PLANNING

Employee performance reviews are part of the Department’s management system. They provide a time for

supervisors and their employees to formally discuss the past year’s objectives, to review accomplishments, to identify

barriers and to plan for the future. In addition to the formal performance review process, DER supervisors are

encouraged to provide feedback to their employees on an ongoing basis. Ongoing feedback linked with employee

self-assessment is the key to a quality performance evaluation review.

Employee performance reviews will help ensure that:

•

Employees are given timely and useful performance feedback;

•

Career advancement and personal development are discussed by the supervisor and employee;

•

All Department staff are evaluated in a consistent manner based upon their contribution to the Department’s work

plans;

•

The best use is made of the talents and abilities of each employee;

•

Systems and barriers which impede employee performance are identified and targeted for change;

•

The Department’s mission and objectives are met as effectively as possible.

In accordance with section 230.37, Wis. Stats., every employee shall receive an annual evaluation. In accordance

with the State of Wisconsin Compensation Plan, Section A 2.01(b)2, supervisors will be ineligible to receive General

Wage Adjustments (GWA) if they have not completed formal performance evaluations within the twelve month period

immediately preceding the effective date of the GWA distribution. Additionally, division administrators must ensure

that all supervisors complete training for conducting effective performance evaluations.

Supervisors, with their employees, shall set and evaluate work objectives and performance standards. Supervisors

also have the responsibility to help develop employees’ skills, knowledge and abilities to better meet the unit’s

objectives and standards.

Every employee is expected to develop the skills, knowledge and abilities to enable them to perform consistently within

the Department’s objectives and standards.

Employees are entitled to know how their performance is reviewed and how they can improve or enhance

performance.

Therefore:

A. Every employee’s performance will be reviewed on a regular basis, as provided below, and communicated to the

employee.

1. All permanent and project employees (full or part time) will be formally reviewed at least once per year using

the Performance Evaluation Review Form. More frequent formal evaluations may be necessary if there are

continuing performance problems. Review of limited term employees is encouraged but forms need not be

submitted to Human Resources.

2. Annual reviews should be conducted two to three weeks prior to the employee’s anniversary date each year.

3. Employees will also be reviewed during their probationary period using the Performance Evaluation Review

Form.

4. The supervisor should acquaint the new employee with the performance review process when the position

description is explained. The supervisor conducts a performance review near the end of the third and fifth

month of employment for all probationary employees and also the 8

and 11

month for those with a 12 month

probation. (These reviews are prescribed by s. ER 45.05, Wis. Adm. Code). The results of the review will be

used as the basis for completing the probationary period.
