Common use of Written Evaluations Clause in Contracts

Written Evaluations. All evaluations shall be reduced to writing with a copy given to the bargaining unit member and a copy placed in the employee’s personnel file. If the bargaining unit member disagrees with the evaluation, he/she may submit a written response, which shall be attached to the file copy of the evaluation in question. If a supervisor believes a bargaining unit member is doing unacceptable work, the reasons therefore shall be set forth in specific written terms. Once the issue(s) are identified, the Evaluator will seek suggestions for improvement from the Employee. At a subsequent meeting between the bargaining unit member and the supervisor, the employee shall be provided with a written improvement plan which shall identify the ways in which the bargaining unit member is to improve, the assistance to be given by the Employer towards that improvement, and a timeline for implementation and completion of the improvement plan. The plan shall provide for meetings at designated intervals to discuss progress, provide feedback, and to clarify any questions about the plan. At the option of the bargaining unit member, another bargaining unit member may be present at any meetings between the bargaining unit member and his/her supervisor regarding the improvement plan, including the initial meeting. The supervisor and the bargaining unit member shall subsequently meet to confirm whether satisfactory improvement has been achieved.
