County Policy requires that performance evaluations be given at the end of probation and annually based on the job anniversary date. 

Performance Management is NOT a one time a year event. It is something that should be on-going and regularly given throughout the year. Feedback is provided and received more easily when it is given regularly and frequently.  Please consult your HR Generalist if you have questions on performance management.

* Please note that the following processes and procedures are related to the County standard evaluation form. Workflow may differ depending on the Employee Evaluation form your department uses.

If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to your department's HR Generalist.

The timeline below is automatically set on the County standard evaluation. We recommend you review these dates and generate Google calendar reminders if necessary.
