In some cases, colleges/departments/units may prefer to develop a performance appraisal/management plan (including a process, appraisal forms, and training for supervisors) specific to their unit. Alternate performance appraisal plans must be developed in conjunction with the unit's HR Pro and their OHR Human Resources Consultant and approved by the Office of Human Resources.

Each unit is requested to record the dates of all completed performance reviews in PeopleSoft.  The Administration will be utilizing this data to report to the Board of Regents regarding the units that have completed annual performance reviews.
