              ARCHIVES Performance Evaluations
Performance evaluations for classified employees were due in the
Personnel Office by 5 p.m. on November 2,1992. As we are all aware,
there is not a monetary reward attached to the evaluations this year,
however, this does not diminish the importance of communicating to
your employees how well they have met their performance expectations
during the past year.
In addition to providing feedback to the employee, the Department of
Personnel and Training requires that the ratings be entered into the
Personnel Management Information System. In order for Thomas
Nelson Community College to be in compliance with the Performance
Evaluation policy, it is imperative that all performance evaluations be
submitted to the Personnel Office no later than 5 p.m. on November 11.
There cannot be any exceptions made to this deadline.
As communicated earlier, all performance expectations for 1993 must
be submitted to the Personnel Office no later than December 1,1992.
All performance evaluations and performance plans for classified
employees must be reviewed and initialed by the appropriate dean
prior to the supervisor communicating with employee.
