The Utilities retains all its managerial rights and has the sole discretion to decide which candidate is best qualified to fill a vacant position, whether or not the candidate is a current Utilities employee. 20. PERFORMANCE REVIEWS An employee's immediate supervisor or department head normally will conduct a performance review on an annual basis. Employee performance, however, may be coached or reviewed formally or informally at any time. Performance reviews are an opportunity for employees, management, and the Utilities to assess an individual's job performance and to assure the continuing improvement of every employee's performance. The performance review system is designed to: • Ensure that quality services are provided to the public at the least possible cost; • Motivate and develop employees to their fullest potential; • Clarify roles and mutual expectations of supervisors and employees; • Promote open and ongoing communication between employees at all levels, including feedback from subordinates to supervisors; and • Assist in determination of whether employees are meeting the performance standards for their position. The performance review will usually be documented in writing as well as delivered orally to the employee in person. Completed performance review forms should be signed by the employee and the supervisor or other Utilities manager or representative delivering the review to the employee. These completed forms are generally maintained in the employee's personnel file. WAGES AND HOURS 21.
