Performance Assessment: Classified Staff
Overview
Assessment is a formal process by which a supervisor reviews an employee’s past performance and plans with them for future performance. Per Article 13.32 of the Classified Agreement, “The purpose of assessment is to provide employee feedback concerning job performance and to assure the College community excellence in the delivery of service by Classified employees.” A good assessment contains no surprises and is done with mutual respect and understanding. Assessments are fair, objective, job-based and focused on improving performance.
Please review Article 13 of the Classified Agreement in its entirety for more detailed assessment information. If you have any questions about the assessment process, reach out to us at EmployeeAssessmentHelp@pcc.edu.
All performance assessment forms are submitted to the Human Resources Department using MyCareer@PCC or the PASS system. Managers will receive email notifications from MyCareer@PCC when the assessment is due.
