Reminder: Performance evaluations due by April 30

This message serves as a follow up to an email sent to all employees on Feb. 16, 2021, regarding the completion of annual performance evaluations.

In November of 2019, former UW System President Ray Cross issued a directive that all employees must have an annual performance evaluation. The directive, which remains in effect, includes employees of all employee categories, i.e., faculty, academic staff, university staff (ongoing, project and LTE), and limited appointees.

The directive ties the completion of an annual performance evaluation to eligibility for a state pay plan. That is, for an employee to be eligible for a pay plan increase, they must have a current evaluation on file. For any supervisor to be eligible, they must have completed performance evaluations for their reports. Thus, we are requiring that all UWM faculty and staff have a written performance evaluation on file that was or will be completed between May 1, 2020, and April 30, 2021. This will ensure those employees eligible for a possible 2021‒23 pay plan are properly evaluated for solid performance and enables UWM to meet the president’s directive.

Please see the email from February 16 or contact the HR Business Partner who works with your school, college or division with any questions.
