Rutgers University supervisors must complete annual performance evaluations for aligned Rutgers staff and notify employees of their appraisal results. This process allows managers and employees to engage in a thoughtful dialogue about the year’s performance and accomplishments, and to define goals and objectives for the upcoming performance cycle.
In accordance with the applicable collective negotiations agreements and legacy UMDNJ Performance Evaluations Policy 60.9.28, supervisors and managers of staff are responsible for providing a formal performance evaluation to eligible employees on an annual basis. While there are currently no aligned merit salary programs for Fiscal Year 2019-2020, performance appraisals must be completed for all eligible staff.
Guidelines are below:
Appraisal Cycle
- The appraisal period for this review cycle begins July 1, 2019 and extends to June 30, 2020.
Performance Review Table
- The Rutgers Aligned Staff Performance Review Table outlines the various staff employee groups for whom performance appraisals must be completed, the review dates when appraisals should be finalized, and the appropriate appraisal form to use.
Performance Appraisal Forms
- Performance appraisal forms can be accessed here or from the applicable collective negotiations agreements as indicated on the Rutgers Aligned Staff Performance Review Table.
- Completed performance evaluations must be provided to the appraised employee by the applicable due date and must be signed by the appraised employee and multiple levels of supervisors as required. Note: For employees in legacy UMDNJ positions, completed and signed performance evaluations must be forwarded electronically via email to University Human Resources at rbhsstaffrequests@hr.rutgers.edu. Please retain copies of the performance appraisal for your records.
Performance Management Tools and Resources
- Self-study programs regarding performance management for aligned employees are available via the Course Registration System.
- Supervisors may also access the Performance Management webpages for information, tools, and resources.
For questions regarding the performance evaluation process, please contact OneSource Rutgers Faculty and Staff Service Center.
Sincerely,
Vivian Fernández
Senior Vice President for Human Resources & Organizational Effectiveness
