New employees <br /> are placed on a specific step, depending on their experience and qualifications. <br /> Based on a satisfactorily performance evaluation, employees receive an annual <br /> step increase to the next step of the range, up to step 6. Occasionally, <br /> extraordinary increases are granted, when extraordinary performance warrants <br /> such an action. <br /> Currently, the level of performance is not directly tied to the amount of a pay <br /> increase. Poor pertormance occasionally results in a denied or delayed increase. <br /> The AFSCME Contract outlines the necessary notification requirements when a <br /> merit increase is being denied. <br /> While the evaluation form and process may vary from division to division the <br /> evaluation content remains common. Public Works employee's evaluation consist <br /> of these common areas: Job Knowledge, Quality of Work, Quantity of Work, <br /> Interpersonal and/or Communication Skills, Leadership and Initiative Skills, <br /> Judgment and Analytical Skills, Dependability, Policy Compliance, Training <br /> (required and other), Workplace Diversity, Diversity Training, Safety Practices, <br /> Accomplishments, Goals, Areas for Improvement. Each employee is given the <br /> opportunity for employee comments and can attach written comments to their <br /> evaluation. <br /> APWA Self Assessmenf - 4th Edition # 2.23 Page 1 of 2 <br /> <br />
