The University of Florida’s new Performance Management initiative is an appraisal process that will be used to evaluate employees across campus.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to contact Employee Relations before assigning an overall rating of "below" using the new form?

Yes, as in the past, supervisors should contact Employee Relations before assigning an overall rating of "below" to an employee.  Given the five available ratings, supervisors also are being asked to contact Employee Relations prior to assigning an overall rating of "minimally achieves" to ensure that any other necessary documentation also is in place.  Supervisors may use any of the ratings without consulting Employee Relations on individual evaluative criteria but are asked to discuss issues of concern with Employee Relations if the overall rating will drop below "Achieves."

Do I conduct performance appraisals for TEAMS exempt employees at the end of their first 6 months? What if their first appointment was a 12-month appointment rather than a 6-month appointment?
There is a different process for new hires on six month appointments versus those on annual appointments. All TEAMS exempt employees on one year appointments will be appraised in March regardless of when they started (unless they were hired within 60 days of March 1) - this includes new hires. However, TEAMS exempt employees on an initial six month appointment should be appraised within the last thirty days of the appointment.

Do TEAMS exempt narratives need a position description attached?
At this time, HRS is not requesting a position description for TEAMS exempt narratives.
