Performance Evaluations
Professional behavior is expected of all UEC employees. At UEC, customer service is an important part of every job and we require that you provide all members of UEC and the campus community with prompt and pleasant customer service in person and on the phone. Accuracy is another important standard and maintaining accuracy in the performance of your job duties assists your department and UEC in operating efficiently and productively. UEC expects that during your employment with us, you will perform all job duties accurately and in a timely manner. During your training and orientation, you will be given an explanation of your department’s policies, procedures and job performance standards. If you, at any time, do not understand any tasks, policies or procedures, it is your responsibility to speak to your supervisor to clarify what is expected of you.
UEC believes in the principle that employees should be given the opportunity to demonstrate their abilities and continually improve their job performance. Performance evaluations are often provided after the first six months and then annually, usually in June or July (unless otherwise specified by your department), although performance evaluations may be conducted at any time to provide both you and your supervisor with the opportunity to discuss your job tasks, identify and correct weaknesses, encourage and recognize strengths, and discuss methods for improving your performance. Employees also may receive an appraisal any time there is a change in performance or changes in position duties. After the review, you will be required to sign the evaluation report simply to acknowledge that it has been presented to you, that you have discussed it with your supervisor, and that you are aware of its contents.
Where performance problems exist, UEC will endeavor to notify an employee about his or her deficiencies. Such notification is an opportunity for the employee to improve. At the same time, please understand that a positive performance evaluation does not guarantee an increase in salary, a promotion, or even continued employment. Compensation increases and the terms and conditions of employment, including job assignments, transfers, promotions, and demotions, are determined by and at the discretion of UEC.
In addition to these more formal performance evaluations, UEC encourages you and your supervisor to discuss your job performance on an ongoing basis.
