Evaluation Procedure 6.1.1 The established evaluation form is to be prepared by the immediate supervisor under whom the bargaining unit member has served for sixty (60) working days or more. (See evaluation form attached as Appendix B.) The immediate supervisor is to present a draft of an evaluation report to the bargaining unit member in private and discuss the report with the bargaining unit member being evaluated. The evaluation shall be based upon direct observation by the immediate supervisor or verified facts. Evaluation reports reflecting “Needs Improvement” or “Does not meet standards” ratings shall include statements of deficiencies and recommendations for improvements, in writing, by the evaluator. The signature by the bargaining unit member does not indicate the employee’s agreement with the ratings; it indicates that the employee has received a copy. 6.1.1.1 Permanent employees shall be evaluated annually. 6.1.1.2 Probationary employees shall be evaluated at least once during the probationary period, prior to the end of the fourth month. 6.1.2 Evaluation reports reflecting “Needs Improvement” or “Does Not Meet Standards” ratings shall be placed in the bargaining unit member’s personnel file only after written notification by the supervisor that the bargaining unit member has been given an opportunity to prepare a written response to such evaluation. Prior to evaluation reports reflecting any “Needs Improvement” or “Does Not Meet Standards” ratings the evaluator is encouraged to implement a Performance Improvement Plan. (See Performance Improvement Plan form attached as Appendix C.) 6.1.3 A bargaining unit member has the right to attach a response to the employee’s evaluation provided that such written response is submitted to the employee's supervisor within fifteen (15) days of the employee's receipt of the evaluation. Any timely received response shall be attached to, and become a permanent part of, the employee's evaluation. 6.1.4 Evaluatees may, within ten (10) working days, present the employee’s objections to the evaluation decision to the Director Personnel Services. Grounds for the objections shall be based on one or more of the following: (1) the evaluation was not based on fact; (2) the evaluation was based on discriminatory standards; (3) the evaluation was not conducted in conformance with this Article. Within ten (10) working days of receipt of such objection the Director Personnel Services shall hear the objections and render a decision whether to uphold the evaluation or rescind the evaluation. 6.1.5 The bargaining unit member's supervisor may, at any time, prepare a notice of commendation. The completed form is to be signed by the bargaining unit member to indicate receipt and the bargaining unit member shall be given a signed copy. The original notice is to be forwarded to the Personnel Services Office for filing. 6.1.6 Contents of evaluations are not subject to the grievance procedure of this Agreement, Article VII, but procedural violations are subject to the grievance procedure. 6.1.7 The probation period shall be defined as the initial six (6) month employment period. 6.1.8 In the event a permanent bargaining unit member is hired for a new position, and is subsequently released from probation under section 6.1.7, the employee will be returned to the employee’s previous classification. 6.1.9 The District, CSEA and the bargaining unit member may mutually agree to extend the probationary period of a bargaining unit member on an individual basis provided the extension is no longer than four (4) months.
