Performance Evaluation System(PES)

2008 PES TRAINING

The PAR System, used to assess the performance of classified staff, has been replaced effective July 1, 2004. It has been replaced by the Performance Evaluation System (PES). The PES program provides one assessment model, using a PASS/FAIL rating scale and standardized Universal Performance Factors for employees and/or supervisors currently represented by AFSCME, CWA or IFPTE unions. Those employees who fall under the FOP or PBA agreement will continue to use the PAR system

Performance Evaluation is an important part of organizational life. Taken seriously, it enhances organizational effectiveness and efficiency and for public sector organizations, it reduces the cost of doing business and therefore saves tax dollars.

As important as accurate completion of the forms is to the overall process, it is critical to remember that this process requires communication between rater and ratee and that communication is a two-way exchange. Everything about this program and the process that surrounds it is geared toward increasing communication and reducing misunderstandings that often arise when one person evaluates the work of another.

The PAR is to be used to complete the current evaluation cycle ending June 30, 2004. The PES is to be utilized for the new assessment cycle covering the period from July 1, 2007 to June 30, 2008. Both the PES/PAR FY'07 final assessment and the FY'08 PES/PAR initial agreements are due by July 15, 2007 and should be submitted to the attention of Keesha Chavis in CO-316.

The new forms that apply to this process can be found on the Forms page.
