Performance evaluations give both supervisors and employees the opportunity to review and discuss performance expectations and actual performance.  Supervisors and employees must work together and regularly communicate with each other to be successful at work.

  • When work performance is excellent, it should be acknowledged and recognized.  This requires that job expectations and job responsibilities be clearly communicated and understood.
  • When work performance is unacceptable, employees and supervisors need to talk, to identify what isn’t working and what needs to be done to improve.
  • Performance evaluation is a continuous process which benefits both the employee and the University.

Evaluation Period

The standard evaluation period for APT employees with employment security is November through October.  Supervisors create performance expectations, provide feedback and complete evaluations online in the Performance Evaluation System (PES).

Refer to the APT Personnel Systems page for more information on PES.
