Performance Appraisals <br />Performance appraisals are an opportunity for employees, supervisors, and the city to assess employee <br />job performance. -The performance appraisal system is designed to: <br />■ Ensure that quality services are provided to the public at the least possible cost,; <br />■ Motivate and develop employees to their fullest potential,; <br />■ Clarify roles and mutual expectations of supervisors and employees,; <br />■ Promote open and ongoing communication between employees at all levels, including feedback <br />from subordinates to supervisors, <br />■ Assist in determination of whether employees are meeting the established performance standards <br />for their position. <br />Performance appraisals €efff�generally will be maintained in the employee's electronic personnel file. <br />Immediate supervisors will conduct performance appraisals annually, and may conduct formal or <br />informal performance appraisals more frequently if necessary or prescribed by the city administrator or <br />the department director. The performance appraisal usually will be in writing and must be signed <br />acknowledged by the employee and supervisor. Acknowledgement of the performance appraisal <br />document by the employee recognizes that the review has been discussed with the <br />supervisor and does not necessarily constitute agreement. -Failure to sign -acknowledge the document by <br />the employee will not delay processing. -Employees do not have the right to change or grieve their <br />performance appraisal; but may submit a written response which will be atfaehed to the peffoffflafte-e <br />appraisal included in the employee's profile. <br />Attendance <br />Every employee has an important role in maintaining a productive workplace. Therefore, it is essential <br />that all employees report to work every day as scheduled. Unsatisfactory attendance, including reporting <br />late to work and leaving work early may result in disciplinary action up to and including discharge. <br />If an employee must be absent from work for any reason, other than approved time off, s/he must notify <br />his/her immediate supervisor at least thirty (30) minutes prior to the start of his/her normal working <br />hours. If an emergency prevents the employee from notifying his/her supervisor at such time, the <br />employee must call his/her immediate supervisor as soon as possible during the workday. <br />12 <br />
